GRF Night Light Aid for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh

Night Light Aid

 

Help keep women & families safe in Cox’s Bazar

 

Almost 1 million Rohingya refugees live in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. There has been a rise in gender-based violence within Cox’s Bazar, with women and young girls targeted, especially when using sanitation facilities at night.  There is no lighting in the area and WASH facilities are 10 – 15 feet away from camps. Therefore, women are exposed to violent attacks and families fear for their children using the bathroom. GRF aims to meet the urgent needs of women and children, improving safety, sanitation and overall wellbeing within camps. With improved lighting during the night, women will be safer when using sanitation facilities and increased visibility in the area will leave attackers deferred. Donate to our Night Light Aid project and protect Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh today.

Safety or sanitation? Give them both

Women shouldn’t have to choose between safety or sanitation. They should have both. With violence towards women increasing in Cox’s Bazar, many refrain from using facilities, in fear of what may happen. This leads to open defecation and increased health concerns amid an increasingly overcrowded population. 

Help women maintain their dignity. They shouldn’t have to make the heartbreaking choice of risking their safety just to meet a basic human need. By providing streetlights and flashlights, we are increasing visibility in the area, deterring attackers and keeping people safe. Support our campaign and increase safety in these areas today. 

Families shouldn’t feel afraid

Sadly, thousands in Cox’s Bazar live in fear, worried about what may happen if they use the bathroom. This is not just a safety issue; it affects dignity and basic human rights. Furthermore, people are at risk of falling and becoming injured. By bringing light into these areas, we’re keeping families protected, turning fear into safety. 

When you donate to our Night Light project, you are helping families move forward with confidence. Give Sadaqah today and bring light into a dark situation.

Support their futures

Children can’t study in the evenings due to the complete darkness. Despite their challenges, some try to make it work by gathering around a dim candlelight, but it remains difficult. Thanks to Night Light Aid, children now have light and can study during the evenings, giving them a chance at a better future for themselves and their families.

Education remains the only hope for a better future.
