The Rohingya are often described as "the world's most persecuted minority" with "acts of genocide" having been committed against them (United Nations).   According to international aid agencies thousands of children and women at the camps, have been separated from their families. According to UNICEF, amid the disorder of the rapidly expanding settlements in Bangladesh, the unaccompanied and abandoned children and women are at particular risk of human trafficking, sexual abuse, child labor and child marriage.

What iQra have already done with your support: So far, iQra have built a medical camp, education centre, set-up temporary shelters, 20 toilets, 6 deep tubewells and provided emergency food packs to residents in the refugee camp known as Shahjalal Rohingya Polli.  

What we want to do now:

As well as continuing to provide aid, education and medical support, we would like to also provide counselling support to help the Rohingya people overcome emotional and psychological issues caused by witnessing family members being raped, burnt, killed and drowned in front of their own eyes. PLEASE support this campaign to bring relief to our needy Rohingya brothers and sisters. Thank you.
