DONATION
The UN Refugee Agency is a great platform for donation to Rohingya refugees.
~100 USD will provide enough for housing for one Rohingya family.
The link below will bring you directly to the donation page.
Donating to UNICEF will help the children in the video and the hundreds of thousands of other children with:
- protection from trafficking
- development of schools like the ones shown in the video
- support of newborn health and immunization
The links below will bring you to two non-profit media platforms where my story and photos are featured.
The Rohingya people are a stateless ethnic minority who have faced decades of discrimination and persecution in Myanmar, leading many to flee. Most went to neighboring Bangladesh, resulting in what is now the largest refugee camp in the world.

I visited Kutupalong refugee camp and documented what I found. A lack of clean and accessible drinking water, virtually no career prospects or higher education opportunities for the large youth population, extreme congestion, limited healthcare within the camps and restricted access to reliable healthcare in Cox's Bazar, and unstable, makeshift infrastructure built on hilly, flood-prone ground (for over a million refugees) were all things I observed during my time there. This was before the 2025 USAID budget cuts. Despite this, I experienced a shocking level of hospitality. In the documentary video below, you can see my experience with a local family and get a firsthand look at what the camp is like through my camera.
