Our Story

“The Rohingya are a persecuted, stateless Muslim minority from Myanmar (Burma). Many of us arrived in Philadelphia after surviving violence, displacement, and years in refugee camps. Our community formed this organization to support one another, protect our faith and culture, and help our children grow with dignity and opportunity.
