Project #329 | Rohingya Emergency Response
Our partnership with Partners Relief and Development
The Rohingya people are a minority in Myanmar’s Rakhine State who have been discriminated against, denied citizenship, and deprived of basic human rights for many decades due to their religion. Since 2012 there have been at least two mass forced evacuations of Rohingya from Rakhine State into neighboring Bangladesh. Over one million refugees live in camps and host communities near Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. In September 2024, thousands of Rohingya were again forced to flee their homes, many of whom crossed the river into Bangladesh. There was an immediate and urgent need for food and relief.
One Day’s Wages partnered with Partners Relief and Development to support displaced Rohingya people with food and hygiene supplies. Through our partnership, 200 families received a month’s supply of food (rice, potato, oil, spices, dried fish) as well as a hygiene kit containing soap, detergent, and shampoo. The on-the-ground team worked alongside community health workers to identify new arrivals and deliver aid as quickly and strategically as possible. Through our partnership, 1,020 people had adequate food and hygiene supplies for one month.

“For days, we couldn’t even afford soap to bathe. Now, my children can eat and stay clean, which gives me some peace of mind. Thank you to the donors for this kindness. Your help has given us hope during such a difficult time.”
Thank you for making this possible!
Our movement is grassroots. The projects we support are led by local leaders, and all the funds we raise are through ordinary donors who give a day of their wages to support those experiencing extreme poverty. Will you consider giving $25, $100 or $250 to make our partnerships possible?
