Each Rohingya refugee in Cox's Bazar receives a monthly food ration, mostly rice, lentils, oil, and a small amount of meat, with little to no fresh fruits or vegetables. In recent years, those rations have been cut to just $7–12 worth of food per person per month. The impact is serious: nearly one in three Rohingya children under five suffers from malnutrition, leaving kids vulnerable to illness and unable to thrive.
BRAC runs community vegetable gardens within the camps, helping families grow fresh produce to supplement what their rations don't provide. For the families tending these gardens, it means better nutrition and a quiet source of dignity and purpose.
This video is part of A week with the Rohingya, our campaign running June 12–18 in recognition of World Refugee Day. Each day, our colleagues Uday and Sidra are taking you inside a different aspect of daily life in Cox's Bazar, home to the world's largest refugee camp, where over a million Rohingya refugees shelter. BRAC has the largest presence of any NGO in these camps, and 100% of gifts to this campaign go directly to BRAC programming there.
