On April 24th, 2025, HAEFA@Brown — a newly established student chapter of Health and Education for All (HAEFA) led by Yui Miura and Aditi Dey — organized a fundraising event to support Rohingya refugees facing severe funding cuts. Recently, the World Food Programme (WFP) has nearly halved food rations for the Rohingya, reducing support from $12.50 to just $6 per person.
The event featured a powerful talk by Dr. Susan Cu-Uvin, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, who shared insights from her work in global health. Attendees also enjoyed delicious homemade Bangladeshi food, henna, and handmade crafts including keychains and embroidered bags created by Rohingya and directly shipped from the refugee camps.
Thanks to everyone's generosity, the fundraiser raised over $1,000!
