I don't want to write a long story because we all know what's happening in Myanmar and all I want to ask is for everyone who can give as little as £1 to anything you wish to help these Rohingya Muslim's in Bangladesh. Hope I'll be surprised by the responses.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
Whoever saves the life of one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind”. (Qur’an 5:32)
You Have a Place call home They Don't
Who are the Rohingya?
The Rohingya are often described as "the world's most persecuted minority".
They are an ethnic group, majority of whom are Muslim, who have lived for centuries in the majority Buddhist Myanmar. Currently, there are about 1.1 million Rohingya who live in the Southeast Asian country.
The Rohingya speak Rohingya or Ruaingga, a dialect that is distinct to others spoken in Rakhine State and throughout Myanmar. They are not considered one of the country's 135 official ethnic groups and have been denied citizenship in Myanmar since 1982, which has effectively rendered them stateless.
Nearly all of the Rohingya in Myanmar live in the western coastal state of Rakhine and are not allowed to leave without government permission. It is one the poorest states in the country with ghetto-like camps and a lack of basic services and opportunities.
Due to ongoing violence and persecution, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled to neighbouring countries either by land or boat over the course of many decades.
