Seven years after a ruthless campaign of violence drove them from their homes, the Rohingya refugee crisis continues to worsen. And women like Dil are paying the price.
Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh is the largest refugee camp in the world. And since Dil and her family were forced to flee Myanmar, it’s been their home.
The camp is overcrowded and poorly lit, with overflowing toilets and contaminated water. A lack of access to clean water has led to an increase in waterborne diseases, and sourcing clean water after dark puts women like Dil in danger of physical and sexual violence.
By donating today, you can help provide women like Dil with safe access to the clean water they urgently need for life, health, dignity and a more secure future. Will you help?
…we came to the camp to save our lives.
– Dil, Rohingya refugee and mother of four
Dil and her family lived in peace before a ruthless campaign of violence made them refugees. Now, every day is a struggle just to access the basics she and her family need.
How will she use the meagre 6 litres of water she gets for her family each day? Will she bathe her children or cook a meal? Is going to the bathroom at night too dangerous?
No one should have to make these unthinkable decisions. But you can help.
Your gift could help establish live-saving water wells, pumps and sanitation facilities. It could also help distribute hygiene kits, provide training on water management and install lights around bathrooms and water sources to keep people safe.
