Since 2017, more than 900,000 Rohingya people have fled violence in Myanmar, seeking refuge in Bangladesh. Today, they remain in overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar, with a smaller group relocated to the remote island of Bhasan Char. Basic needs like food and clean water and sanitation are dangerously inadequate, leaving families—especially children—at risk.

Right now, more than half of the Rohingya refugees are children, many suffering from preventable but life-threatening health issues:

• Nearly one in 2 people suffer from upper respiratory infections.
• One in 10 children under five suffer from watery diarrhea, a leading cause of malnutrition and death.

For over 35 years, BRAC has been providing critical services to vulnerable communities in Cox’s Bazar. As the largest local nonprofit responding to the Rohingya humanitarian crisis,  BRAC takes a needs-based, holistic approach across 26 refugee camps–offering food security, clean water, shelter, healthcare, hygiene, sanitation, disaster recovery, skills development, education, mental health support, and social protection.
