Rohingya in Burma and in Bangladesh refugee camps
Rohingya Children’s Projects is a grassroots initiative that aims to build capacity among the Rohingya in the villages of Burma and the refugee camps of Bangladesh through education and training. We are a network of Rohingya activists and genocide survivors, and our projects are managed and run by refugees living inside the villages and camps exclusively.
Rohingya Children’s Projects is supported by a registered not-for-profit as well as a registered charity in Canada. This means our work is recognized by the Government of Canada, and we are able to issue tax receipts. This is equivalent to 501(c)(3) status in the United States, and registered charity status in the UK.
Rohingya Children’s Projects is run with 100% volunteer efforts in Canada and the US. All of our fundraising, book keeping, reporting, and publicity is done on volunteer time. We also add our own funds to cover banking and remittance fees. We have no offices or assets in our countries of operation – all our work on the ground is done by village elders & youth. Hence, 100% of contributed funds go to the needy exclusively.
Rohingya Children’s Projects relies on volunteer efforts and donor funds. Please contact us at info@rohingya.net to volunteer your time or to contribute financially. We always look for volunteers for fundraising, book keeping, accounting, reporting, graphics design, grant writing, social media, etc.
