ROHINGYA MUSLIMS HAVE LONG BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND PERSECUTED FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE
Over one million Rohingya Muslims have fled their homes in search of safety and peace, with another 600,000 trapped in conflict zones, placing them in grave danger. This is, without a doubt, one of the worst humanitarian crises in the modern world, and it continues to worsen.
We believes that this persecution should not be happening in the 21st century, and neither do our sponsors, who have already helped us to help them – but we need much, much more help if we are to ensure that each and every innocent life is protected. Our Rohingya brothers and sisters need our help today, so read on to discover more.

ROHINGYA emergency appeal
SUPPORT ROHINGYA WELFARE TRUST’S BURMA CHARITY APPEAL
The Rohingya have been persecuted for decades, but the worsening conflict has put these already-vulnerable people in even more danger over recent months.
Since August 2017, the Rakhine State, Myanmar (Burma), historically home to many of the Rohingya, has been suffering through a worsening state of emergency. To date, it is estimated that over 850,000 people have lost their lives as a result of the ongoing conflict – a worrying statistic.Similarly, some of the most essential supplies are in high demand and short supply. This means that many vital resources like food, shelter, medical supplies, and clean water are simply not accessible.
