Volunteer – ServeRohingya

Back to Volunteer Page

Since the outbreak of violent conflict in August 2017, nearly one million Rohingya have fled Myanmar, seeking safety in neighboring Bangladesh. Today, they remain in overcrowded, makeshift camps – unable to return home. The majority are women, children, and the elderly, all in urgent need of food, clean water, shelter, and medical care. With limited resources from the Bangladeshi government and the UN, local and international NGOs have stepped in to fill critical gaps.

IMANA has been on the ground since the beginning of the crisis, deploying medical teams in close partnership with local organizations. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, when international deployments were briefly suspended, our clinics remained operational -delivering free, essential healthcare year-round through local healthcare workers and partners.

Now, with U.S. medical teams back in the field, IMANA continues to provide vital healthcare in the camps. The need remains urgent, and your continued support is essential to ensuring Rohingya refugees receive the care they need and deserve.

As of June 2025, our missions have provided free medical care to 449,134 Patients
