Rohingya Refugee School
CTA Promise Learning Center
Education offers protection against human trafficking and gives hope for a brighter future. Because of many generous donations, in 2019 we built “The Promise Learning Center,” accommodating 60 kids between the ages of 4 and 16. The joy from attending school beams on the faces of the children. Thanks for your help in this endeavor!
Who are the Rohingya?
The Rohingya people are Myanmar’s Muslim minority. They have been attacked with impunity and driven from their homes through violence, murder, rape, and forced to seek refuge. Over 950,000 refugees have fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh. Not only is this the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world, but the concentration of refugees in Cox’s Bazar is now amongst the densest in the world. Refugees arriving in Bangladesh—mostly women and children—are traumatized. Some have arrived with injuries caused by gunshots, shrapnel, and fire. The new arrivals are adding massive pressure to services in existing refugee settlements. Disease and malnourishment are rampant, as well as kidnapping, human trafficking, and prostitution.
