“I pray for a long life.”

Yasmin is a Rohingya refugee living in Bangladesh. Her wish is simple, yet full of purpose. If she lives longer, she says, she can earn her own income and help others who are struggling, just like her.

Even while facing daily hardship, Yasmin thinks beyond herself. She dreams of dignity, independence, and being able to give back to her community. Her strength lies not only in endurance, but in generosity of spirit.

Ramadan holds a special place in Yasmin’s heart. It is a time when she prays more, asks for forgiveness, reads the Qur’an, and recites tasbih. In those moments of worship, she finds peace, hope, and closeness to God.

Despite her own urgent needs, Yasmin still wants to help others. Her story is a reminder that even in the most difficult circumstances, compassion survives.

This Ramadan, UNHCR calls on generous hearts to stand with Rohingya refugees like Yasmin.
