In Q1 of 2025, Al-Insan Group received a record-breaking 7 million Myanmar Kyat in donations, thanks to both members and non-members. These funds are primarily directed toward helping the Rohingya refugees, who face ongoing persecution under Myanmar’s military regime. The significant increase in donations was driven by the recent devastating earthquake in Central Myanmar, which further worsened the already dire conditions for the Rohingya.
The Rohingya Crisis
The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority, have faced systemic violence and discrimination for decades. In 2017, the military crackdown led to mass killings, displacement, and genocide, leaving the Rohingya stateless and excluded from basic rights. Despite international condemnation, they continue to endure violence, poverty, and displacement. The situation has worsened since Myanmar’s military coup in 2021, leaving the Rohingya trapped in overcrowded refugee camps with limited access to essentials like food, water, and healthcare.
The Earthquake and Increased Need for Aid
In January 2025, a powerful earthquake struck Central Myanmar, exacerbating the challenges faced by the Rohingya. Many refugees already lived in precarious conditions near the earthquake’s epicenter, and the disaster further disrupted their already fragile lives. This situation sparked an overwhelming response from donors, leading to the record-high contributions received by Al-Insan Group.
How Al-Insan Group is Making a Difference
Al-Insan has been a reliable source of aid for the Rohingya refugees, providing essential relief such as food, medical care, and shelter. In addition to emergency support for earthquake victims, the group continues to focus on long-term initiatives, including rebuilding refugee camps, providing education for displaced children, and advocating for international action against Myanmar’s military regime.
A Call to Action
The approximately over 13 million Myanmar Kyat raised in Q1 2025 underscores the growing awareness and solidarity for the Rohingya crisis. Al-Insan donors remains committed to helping the refugees and advocating for their rights.
