Monsoon season has made life even more precarious for nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees — including more than 500,000 children — living in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Landslides and flooding have destroyed homes, disrupted lives and damaged learning centers and water and sanitation facilities. For these ethnic Muslims, the majority of them chased out of Myanmar by a brutal military campaign in 2017, every day is a struggle to stay alive.
Your zakat contributions, combined with the support of other generous donors, have helped UNICEF provide urgently needed health, nutrition, education, child protection and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services to Rohingya children.

Rohingya children in Bangladesh are growing up in what has become the world's largest refugee camp. The persecution that drove them from Myanmar is not their fault, but they are paying the highest price. Thank you for your generous contributions. With your sustained support, UNICEF can continue providing the services and protection these vulnerable children need to survive and thrive.
