Thousands of people across Myanmar, are displaced, unable to return to their homes. Over 500,000 Rohingya civilians crossed in to Bangladesh to take refuge from Myanmar in recent weeks. There is a dire need of lifesaving healthcare as most of these refugees very sick from long travel, torture, physical and sexual abuse, malnutrition, infections and other ailments.
Challenge
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group, are fleeing persecution in Myanmar's western Rakhine State, fueling a migration crisis in Southeast Asia. The vast majority of refugees are women, including mothers with newborn babies, and families with children in very poor health conditions. Many come drenched in rain, with no change of clothes. This is an humanitarian crisis, and we need your help.
Long-Term Impact
Not only will this project save hundreds of refugees lives but it will create a community attitude shift. This is an humanitarian crisis, and we need your help.
