It is one of the most densely populated and at the same time the poorest countries in the world. There are more than one thousand inhabitants here per one square kilometer. The country’s population is almost 150 million. In the neighboring Myanmar, since mid-2017, thousands of the Rohingya people have lost their lives, their villages have been burned down, and the survivors approached the border with Bangladesh. Within several months, more than 750 refugees settled in the border area.

When the world falls apart, a mother can be the last line of defense. In Myanmar, when everything around them was burning, Rohingya mothers became living shields, protecting their children. They took them in their arms and ran—across borders, across rivers—to Bangladesh. Through a true hell we can only watch on the news.
Today, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, we should remember that for many Rohingya women, motherhood is not flowers and breakfast in bed. It is a dignity-stripping daily life without hygiene products, without clean underwear, without a mosquito net to protect against malaria. It is a life where basic hygiene needs are a luxury, and staying healthy is a daily fight for survival.
Our project in Bangladesh is not a massive aid machine that can take these women out of the camps and give them a new life. We cannot give back the homes that no longer exist. We cannot turn back time and make history unfold differently. We cannot restore their basic rights. But there is still much we can do. We can help them regain their dignity.
For many organizations, helping the Rohingya is an unprofitable cause—too little media attention, too little recognition, too far from home. But this is not about profitability. It is about helping a person remain human.
Each Support Package for a Rohingya Woman contains items we in Poland buy without a second thought: soap for washing clothes and bathing, a toothbrush and toothpaste, clean underwear, a mosquito net to protect the whole family from malaria, an umbrella, disinfectants. And a practical carry bag so it all doesn’t get lost in a life that has to fit into a single shelter.
It may not sound like much, but in camp conditions each of these items can mean the difference between health and illness, between dignity and exclusion. The inability to maintain hygiene is not just uncomfortable—it is isolating, deepening the already difficult situation of women who have lost everything.
One package costs €27. If just three people with generous hearts come together, one Rohingya woman will receive her Support Package. By donating €9, alongside two other donors, you give a mother the chance for peace, health, and the knowledge that someone remembers her. That on a day when the world celebrates motherhood, she is seen too.

You responded the way you always do—without hesitation. A total of 277 people decided to help. Three people, often strangers, from another continent, came together to […]

Amina holds her newborn baby in her arms. Small, fragile, defenseless. Completely dependent on her. She is this baby’s whole world—the only person who truly cares. But she won’t be given food for her child unless she agrees to forced contraception. “Your child will not be registered in the camp and will not receive food […]

Suruz Zol is sick. We know she’s struggling with fever, pain, and has difficulty breathing. Her illness has confined her to her modest shelter, making it impossible for her to walk—especially difficult when you live at the top of a hill. What might be just an inconvenience for a healthy person becomes an unscalable wall […]
