 Rohingya Crisis

Scene of destruction with debris, charred trees, and remains of structures after a fire, with people gathered amid the ruins.

Almost one million Rohingya (an ethnic Muslim community from Myanmar) were forced from their home due to ongoing persecution and military attacks, and have been living in overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, since 2017.

Over 750,000 people fled from their homes to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. There are now almost 1 million Rohingya living in the camps.

We partner with Caritas Bangladesh and Catholic Relief Services in Bangladesh to support Rohingya living at the camps at Cox’s Bazar.

Caritas Bangladesh runs home visits and protection-based awareness training, working to eliminate gender-based violence.

We are welcoming migrants and refugees in a number of ways, through events such as the annual Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants, ongoing funds for the Rohingya Appeal, and advocacy against migrant exploitation in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We invite you to join us in encountering our neighbors to welcome, promote, protect and integrate.
