HELP ROHINGYA CHILDREN
FLEEING VIOLENCE

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.

For the first 12 months, monthly donations made to this appeal will go towards funding UNICEF’s work to support children affected by the Rohingya crisis. After that donations will go to our Children’s Emergency Fund, to save and protect children in emergencies around the world. 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 our Children’s Emergency Fund.
