EID Festival
provide new outfits, particularly for children, to bring joy and allow them to participate in the festive tradition of wearing new clothes on Eid.
Qurbani meat: For Eid al-Adha (the festival of sacrifice), distribute the meat to refugee families who otherwise would not have access to it.
Small monetary gifts (Eidi): It is a common Rohingya tradition for elders to gift money to children, and aid sometimes facilitates this practice or provides small items like toys and balloons.
Providing Eid gifts to Rohingya refugee children and needy orphans. Rohingya Muslims celebrate Eid Festiva in the crowded refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, where 1.1 million Rohingya Muslims have taken shelter.
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:The most beloved of deeds according to Allah is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim". So, what if this Muslim is an orphan or a refugee child in the refugee camps?
RSUR works in Rohingya refugee camps and we help many underserved children including orphans. Your EID donation can mean the world to a family or a child by providing them with much-needed essentials like food or clothing, but also by putting a smile on their face and joy in their heart. Share your happiness this EID by donating to RSUR and providing an EID gift to a child who could not receive one otherwise. Not only do our EID Gifts provide delight, but they also have the potential to improve the lives of women, children, and underprivileged communities.
Eid gifts were distributed upon 500 Rohingya children in the refugee Camp of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, on the 3rd of June, 2024. The gifts were distributed as part of the individual donors
Each gift packet was curated to included alongside attire tailored for the festive occasion – shirts, pants, shoes for boys, and frocks, pajamas, scarves, and shoes for girls. Additionally, nutritious biscuits and dry cakes were distributed to ensure the children’s wellbeing.
Eid al-Adha, a festival of sacrifice, faith, and togetherness, carries deep emotional and spiritual meaning for the Rohingya community, many of whom have endured years of displacement, loss, and trauma. In such a setting, a simple act of kindness, a gift, a smile, a sincere greeting becomes incredibly powerful. It rekindles hope, restores a sense of belonging, and strengthens the bond of humanity.
Cows, goats and sheep flooded local markets catering to the displaced Muslims in the lead up to Eid. Some better-off families pooled whatever cash they could muster to make the Islamic sacrifice, buying shares in a cow or goat. But for most refugees, such luxuries are wildly beyond their means.
Barred from legally working, and surviving hand to mouth on charity, this Eid has for many been overshadowed by the misery in Bangladesh. The sight of animals being fattened for slaughter taunted Mohammad Amin, a teenager who remembered the home-cooked meat delicacies and special gifts reserved for the holiest Islamic festivity back home
This noble initiative not only brought smiles to the faces of Rohingya children but also served as a reminder of the power of compassion and collective action in bringing joy to those in need.
