Crisis in the world’s largest refugee camp

This Christmas, families like Sakhina’s are facing the devastating risk of disease due to a severe lack of clean water and proper sanitation.

Water sources are scarce and often contaminated, leaving families no choice but to share inadequate, barely functional latrines. For those living with a disability, accessing these facilities is even more challenging.

Family's like Sakhina's urgently need access to clean water this Christmas 

More than a million Rohingya refugees who have fled persecution are now living packed together in an area little bigger than a small town. The daily conditions they endure are dire. 

But with your support, we can bring hope to these families. As part of the second-largest humanitarian network in the world, Caritas Australia and our partner Caritas Bangladesh are on the ground, ready to act. Together, we can improve access to clean water, provide better sanitation, and help reduce the spread of deadly waterborne diseases.
