Fighting extreme poverty in Bangladesh

On World Refugee Week, we share the story of a Rohingya refugee who has turned his own personal suffering into compassion and caring for others. 

Over 900,000 Rohingya refugees fled violence in Myanmar and sought refuge in Bangladesh. Three of these refugees have shared their stories with us.

 

Since August 2017, targeted violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar’s Rakhine State has forced over 700,000 people to seek safety in Bangladesh. This is now the world’s fastest growing refugee crisis.
