Md Younus Arman is a Rohingya activist, humanitarian and charity worker committed to supporting vulnerable communities, raising awareness and amplifying the voices of displaced people.
I was born in a refugee camp in Bangladesh to parents who fled violence and persecution in Myanmar.
Growing up, I witnessed the uncertainty and hardship faced by displaced Rohingya families. I saw families separated, children deprived of opportunities and communities struggling to meet basic needs.
Rather than remaining a silent witness, I began using my voice to bring attention to these realities and connect people in need with those willing to help.
Over the years, this journey has grown into humanitarian assistance, advocacy, youth engagement, emergency response and community support.
My work brings together humanitarian assistance, community support, youth development, advocacy and emergency response.
For me, humanitarian work begins with listening to people and understanding what they need.
Over the years, I have been involved in initiatives providing food packages, hot meals, temporary shelters, clean water, wells, medical support, seasonal assistance, Eid support and other forms of emergency and community assistance.
I have also taken part in responses to floods, fires and other emergencies that have left families without food, shelter or essential resources.
For displaced and vulnerable communities, basic necessities can become matters of survival.
Supporting wells, hand pumps and other water initiatives while promoting safe water and sanitation.
Supporting food packages, hot meals, Iftar programmes, Qurbani distributions and emergency food assistance.
Supporting vulnerable families affected by displacement, flooding, fires and other emergencies.
Responding when families face disasters, sudden crises and urgent humanitarian needs.
I understand displacement and hardship personally.
But my humanitarian work has never been limited to refugee camps.
As a refugee living in Bangladesh, I have also sought to support vulnerable Bangladeshi communities that have shown solidarity with Rohingya refugees.
My humanitarian activities have included food packages, blankets, Iftar meals, clean-water support, Qurbani assistance and emergency support.
In 2022, I helped provide food assistance to flood-affected families in Sylhet. In 2024, I also helped mobilize support for communities affected by severe flooding in Feni and Noakhali.
Humanitarian assistance addresses immediate needs. Advocacy addresses the future.
I have raised awareness about the Rohingya crisis through demonstrations, meetings, public discussions, media interviews and engagements with national and international stakeholders.
Speaking about the need for justice and accountability for the suffering of the Rohingya people.
Advocating for the rights, identity and dignity of the Rohingya people.
Supporting a return that is safe, voluntary, dignified and sustainable.
Calling for continued international attention and meaningful action.
Highlighting challenges and concerns faced by refugees in the camps.
Supporting solutions that protect the dignity, safety and future of displaced Rohingya people.
I believe young people are an important part of the future of the Rohingya community.
I have supported youth through motivation, career guidance, skills development, sports, photography, community activities and constructive engagement.
My youth-focused work aims to help young people develop confidence, skills and a sense of purpose while encouraging them to contribute positively to their communities.
Helping young people develop practical skills and explore future opportunities.
Creating positive spaces for participation, teamwork and confidence.
Encouraging young people to share ideas and contribute to their communities.
Humanitarian challenges are closely connected to the environment.
I have been involved in environmental and climate-related activities, including tree planting, plant distribution, climate awareness, waste management, sustainable agriculture, disaster preparedness and youth environmental activities.
I have participated in television interviews, media discussions and public engagements to bring attention to the Rohingya crisis and humanitarian concerns.
My media and public engagements have addressed issues including:
Rohingya Repatriation • Justice • Humanitarian Conditions • Camp Security • International Responsibility • Durable Solutions
Through media and public discussions, I continue to bring Rohingya concerns to wider audiences.
Humanitarian work is stronger when people and organizations work together.
Over the years, I have worked with charitable organizations, NGOs, community groups, donors and volunteers to support humanitarian and community initiatives.
These collaborations have contributed to projects involving:
Food Assistance • Shelter • Clean Water • Medical Support • Education • Women & Girls • Youth • Emergency Response • Community Development
My work extends beyond direct humanitarian assistance.
I have participated in community meetings, conferences, awareness campaigns, remembrance events, youth activities and public discussions.
These engagements create spaces to discuss humanitarian challenges, Rohingya rights, repatriation, youth development, community protection and the future of displaced people.

The Rohingya story is a story of displacement, loss and resilience — but it is also a story of courage, community and hope.
I believe every person deserves dignity, safety and the opportunity to build a better future.
I believe the voices of Rohingya people must continue to be heard and that their rights, identity and future must remain part of the global conversation.
Through humanitarian assistance, community engagement and advocacy, I will continue to stand with vulnerable people and contribute to keeping the Rohingya voice visible.
