About the League

Who we are, where we come from, and the principles that guide our advocacy, relief, and education work for the Rohingya people.

Our story

Born from crisis, built on hope

The Rohingya National League was founded in the diaspora in the aftermath of the August 2017 crisis, when hundreds of thousands of Rohingya were forced from their homes in Arakan. What began as a small circle of community organizers has grown into a league of 2 branches in 2 countries.

We are dedicated to advocating for the fundamental rights of the Rohingya people, providing essential humanitarian support, and empowering our community through education and sustainable development.

Our work is carried out by volunteers — teachers, students, elders, and professionals — united by the belief that the Rohingya people will one day return home in safety and dignity.

Message from the Executive Director

“Our people have endured what few nations have. Yet every classroom we open, every family we feed, and every voice we raise brings the day of our dignified return closer.”

On behalf of the League, I invite you to walk with us — as a member, a volunteer, or a friend of the Rohingya people. Insáf, izzot, ummid: justice, dignity, hope.
