Thank you for your generous gift to the Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund. Donations like yours continue to make a difference by helping to ensure Rohingya refugees receive medical care, food, psychosocial support, and protection from COVID-19 during the most challenging times. 

And for many Rohingya refugees, the past year was truly unimaginable. Between March 2021 and January 2022, two fires struck Cox’s Bazar. The fires killed at least 15 people and burned more than 11,000 refugees’ shelters along with COVID-19 treatment facilities. As media attention shifts among simultaneous crises across the world, the needs of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh can go unheard and unmet. That makes your donation all the more meaningful.

We recently made two additional grants to our trusted nonprofit partners working at the forefront of this crisis. Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported: 

  • HOPE Foundation for Women & Children of Bangladesh has expanded its health care services across the Kutupalong refugee camp and scaled up its youth sports initiative. It is also administering COVID-19 vaccinations to help protect refugees as the pandemic continues.
  • OBAT Helpers is serving Rohingya refugees across the Kutupalong camp network through food distribution, education programming for children, and basic healthcare services. Your donation also enabled the organization to dedicate efforts to refugees relocated to Bhasan Char, an island off the coast of Bangladesh.

Your support of the Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund powers these community-led responses, and it means Rohingya refugees get the critical resources they need. Thank you again for your generosity.

With gratitude, 

Kyra + the GlobalGiving Team

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
