Seven years later, hear the stories of the refugees still sheltering in Bangladesh
On the seventh anniversary of the Rohingya refugee crisis, hear from the people who still call Cox’s Bazar home.
When flowers bloom or vegetables grow in those gardens, I feel proud. I feel like my work has brought happiness to my community. This job has taught me how to manage household waste properly, and now I share this knowledge with neighbors to help keep the community clean and support compost production. This job has also provided much-needed financial stability. Since my husband was killed by the Myanmar military in 2012, I have faced many financial hardships. My role as a solid waste segregator allows me to buy my children their favorite foods and new clothes. It has brought me dignity as a woman and mother and brought positive change to my community. –Fatema -

Our hope is that the school closures will be temporary, and more funding will be made available. Plus, BRAC’s Humanitarian Play Labs—safe, joyful spaces for younger children to explore and learn—are temporarily closed but set to reopen next month. Play is essential for learning, especially for children who have experienced hardship and trauma. -
