In our first-ever episode of the Save the Children NZ podcast ‘Champions for Children’, we take you to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh – home to the world’s largest refugee settlement. We sit down with Maheen Chowdhury, former Director of Save the Children’s area office in Cox’s Bazar, to hear first hand about the challenges and triumphs of delivering lifesaving healthcare to Rohingya children and families.

From overcrowded conditions and urgent medial needs to mental health support and disability inclusion, Maheen shares the realities of working on the ground, the resilience of the community, and the impact of Save the Children’s healthcare programmes.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about children’s rights, refugee issues, and global health equity. Tune in to hear Maheen’s hopes for the future – and how you can help support Rohingya children to survive and thrive.
