Story

Rohingya Emergency

The Rohingyan community need our help urgently, hundreds are being killed; mothers and children, brothers and sisters, thousands are fleeing in desperate search of a safe haven.

Penny Appeal teams are on the ground inside Myanmar as well as Bangladesh and Pakistan providing food, water, medicine, and shelter to those trying to escape the atrocities.

Being human demands we must do something when we see genocide taking place. We aim to raise as much as possible to provide the essentials for these people through your generous donations.

An estimated 165,000 Rohingya refugees have fled following the violence. The number is rising. They need your help, fast.


- £50 provides a family foodpack

- £100 provides blankets, clothes & hygiene kits

- £200 provides medicine for a family

- £350 provides shelter for a family with medicine 

- £3000 provides essential shelter for 8 families

Treated worse than animals, this dehumanisation of the Rohingya people has become ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. Human rights violations and destruction are rife, with women raped, children abused and villages burned to the ground.

Homes, shops and entire villages are being burned to the ground. The refugees fleeing the violence have crossed the border injured and ill and need urgent medical  attention.  The camps in Bangladesh do not have sufficient resources to treat the injured or feed the many that haven't eaten in days.

The situation is constantly changing and escalating. We need your urgent help now! 

There is a mass exodus from the country as people flee for their lives, facing perilous journeys to do so. Dozens of refugees, including children, are missing and presumed dead, as Rohingya Muslims were forced to risk everything to escape this brutal persecution.

Far from home and afraid for their lives, most are now dependent on aid for all their basic needs – food, water, shelter and medical care.

We have been working in Burma constructing Barracks and Shelter for internally displaced people in Say Tha Mar Gyi Camp near Sittwe Township particularly. This area is unfortunately the epicentre of community violence in Arakan - where more than 250,000 civilians have seen food supplies cut off in the latest round of violence. 

Over 680 Rohingyan's have so far benefitted from the construction of these provisions and our partners are working on the development and construction of further household shelters for families in Pauk Taw Township as part of our resettlement project.

We are also responding to the crisis by way of providing essential food and non perishable items in Myanmar.

The situation is constantly changing, while we have been delivering long terms aid within Myanmar we are currently standing by as the government is refusing aid for the Rohingya community. We have teams in neighbouring Bangladesh where we will be distributing aid to those fleeing violence.

-  £50 FOOD PACK Our food packs contain nutritional items like pasta, rice, sugar and chickpeas and can support families for an entire month.

 - £100 FAMILY ESSENTIALS KIT Simple things such as hygiene and sanitation items, clothes and blankets can make a big difference to the health of refugees.

£200 MEDICAL SUPPLY Provide access to medication to a family.

 - £350 SHELTER Give a family warmth, security and protection by providing them with shelter.

3,000 SHELTER Each shelter can house eight families, providing warmth, security and protection.
