Hasina-Bangladesh.png

Welcome

My name is Hasina and I’m a volunteer with Relief International in Bangladesh.

My family and I came to Bangladesh after we had to flee Myanmar very suddenly. Our journey was long and difficult, and when I arrived at the refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, I felt exhausted. The camp here is the largest in the world, but when I first arrived, I felt completely alone.

One day, a neighbor of mine told me about RI’s Safe Spaces. At these Safe Spaces, children can learn and play together, and women can meet, talk, and support one another. A year after I began coming to the Safe Space, I started volunteering here too.

Through my work, I’ve learnt that RI support families like mine in 16 countries around the world.

It’s really amazing to no longer feel like I am alone, and that there are people all over the world that are all trying to help each other.

Thank you for all you do to support us.

When Crises Hit

Afghanistan

As thousands of families fled Afghanistan in August 2021, RI was there to meet their immediate needs at the border with Iran. 

“Women with young children arrived exhausted. Many had travelled through the night on foot, carrying the few possessions they were able to fling into a suitcase,” says Azadeh Hassani, RI Global Humanitarian Director.

“Our teams greeted them with hot meals, warm clothes, blankets and health services.”
