Children fleeing violence need our help - now.
Traumatised Rohingya children fled to Bangladesh, bringing with them harrowing stories of violence in Myanmar.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people are now surviving in overcrowded makeshift camps. They are in continued need of food, clean water, and a safe place to call home.
With coronavirus, these children and their families face even more upheaval.
We urgently need your support to help Rohingya children.

World Vision has been on the ground since the start of the Rohingya refugee crisis.
We are focused on providing life-sustaining support for refugees that includes food distribution and nutrition programmes.
We're also advocating for the protection and rights of all refugees including so that they can return home. But we need your support.
We were given shelter here in Bangladesh. The support we have received is an endless blessing for us and our children.

The Myanmar refugee crisis is no small challenge. The Rohingya, a mostly-Muslim ethnic minority in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, experienced what the United Nations has described as genocidal violence, forcing the Rohingya to flee in one of the largest, fastest movements of people in recent history.
Rohingya refugee children are living in makeshift camps with little access to food, clean water or medical care.
But World Vision is working on the ground in Bangladesh to provide emergency food, water sanitation, and protection.
We strengthen child protection systems in families and communities, working with children, parents, faith leaders, and governments to end violence against children, including child marriage.
We refer children in need to the right professional services through our work in the camps.
We give out nutritious food and provide monthly fresh-food vouchers so families can buy basic food of their choice.
We supply vouchers to pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers and support families to grow vegetables.
We are working with women and girls, as they build social safety nets and learn how to protect themselves.
We have also trained men and boys in gender-based violence awareness.
World Vision has installed wells, latrines, hand-washing stations, and bathing cubicles to benefit more than 200,000 refugees. We've even built a network of solar panels to provide water 24 hours a day.
Now we are working even harder to protect Rohingya children from the pandemic by providing soap and other supplies.
We help prevent and treat malnutrition in children under age five, as well as in pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
In 2020, World Vision opened malnutrition prevention and treatment centres in five refugee camps.
The influx of almost one million Rohingya profoundly affected local communities — already among the poorest in Bangladesh.
World Vision supports community savings groups and income-generating activities that help vulnerable men and women break the cycle of poverty.
