Almost 750,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar and sought refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh since violence erupted in their homeland on 25 August 2017. More than half of them are children.

£24 could provide a child with ready to use therapeutic food for a month in an emergency.

Sorry, we can only process donations of £1 and above due to admin costs.

Rohingya children and families desperately need our help 

Since August 2017, more than 745,000 Rohingya refugees, including 400,000 children, have fled violence in Myanmar and settled in Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh. As a stateless Muslim minority group in Myanmar, they have faced discrimination, violence and extreme poverty for decades.

Most have walked for days, bringing with them harrowing stories of violence. Children are arriving in overcrowded makeshift camps. They are sick, exhausted and in desperate need of food, water and medicine. Many are also clearly traumatised by their experiences.

How will my donation help children?

In Bangladesh, Unicef is providing life-saving food for malnourished children, as well as vaccinating children against deadly diseases. Unicef is supplying families in the camps with safe drinking water and hygiene supplies, and has set up 2,167 learning centres and more than 70 child-friendly spaces providing distressed and traumatised children with a safe place to eat, rest, play and receive care.

Unicef is working day and night to meet the needs of over 680,000 children in Cox’s Bazar.

However, resources are running dangerously low and we urgently need your support. 

Donating by phone

If you’re in the UK and would prefer to make a donation by phone, you can call our dedicated donation line: 0300 330 5699.

For the first 12 months, monthly donations made to this appeal will go to helping children in Bangladesh affected by the Rohingya crisis. After that they will go to our Children’s Emergency Fund. In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed Unicef’s funding requirements for this appeal, your one off or monthly gift will also go to the Children’s Emergency Fund.

“People are crossing during day and night. You see children who have not slept for days, they are weak and hungry. I saw half a dozen children without their parents, they need special care and protection.” Jean-Jacques Simon, Unicef Chief of Communication in Bangladesh
