Thanks to your generous contributions to GlobalGiving’s Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund, local organizations are continuing to provide lifesaving care and essential services to Rohingya communities living through one of the world's longest-running displacement crises.

More than ever, support for Rohingya communities is urgently needed. Growing health risks and shrinking access to international aid are leaving many families without the medical care, food, and essential items they need to survive. 

Since our last update, we’ve provided two emergency grants to community-led nonprofits providing essential services for women, children, and families living in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. 

  • OBAT Helpers is providing life-saving health services to Rohingya families from clinics established throughout the camps. The team also hosts trainings and emergency preparedness sessions for medical practitioners, and offers maternal and family planning services in Cox’s Bazaar. Compounding the organization’s challenges, in late December 2025, a major fire in the camp destroyed one of OBAT Helpers’ clinics and resulted in severe losses of medicine, equipment, and infrastructure. OBAT is still rebuilding its stores and ability to provide uninterrupted care to families in need following this disaster. 
  • Hope Foundation for Women & Children of Bangladesh is providing vital healthcare services to Rohingya women and children, offering emergency childbirth care and treatment for serious medical conditions. Due to aid cuts and the closure of nearby health clinics, HOPE Foundation has been struggling to serve an increased number of patients who are battling malnutrition, infectious diseases, and pregnancy complications.

Your contribution makes moments of safety and hope possible. It helps ensure a mother can safely give birth,  allows patients with chronic illnesses to receive medication, and equips children and their families with the essential knowledge to stave off preventable illness and support their community members in times of emergency. Your generosity also helps local organizations expand their services and rebuild after they experience personal losses, like fires damaging their facilities.

Your contribution saves lives. We could not thank you enough for standing in solidarity with us and with the Rohingya people.

With immense gratitude, 

Alli + GlobalGiving Team

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
