A Rohingya Boy’s Daily Struggle: Selling in a Small Shop Instead of Studying

In a small corner of the Rohingya refugee camp, a young boy sits behind a makeshift shop, selling biscuits, tea, and other small items to support his family.

While children in other parts of the world attend school and dream of bright futures, many Rohingya children like him are forced to work instead of studying.

For this boy, life revolves around the small shop.

Every morning, as the sun rises, he arranges his items, hoping to earn enough money to buy food for his family. He watches other children walk past, some attending learning centers, but for him, school is not an option.

His family’s survival depends on his earnings, and education remains an impossible dream.

“I want to go to school, but if I stop selling, who will bring food for my family?” he says, his tired eyes reflecting the weight of his responsibilities.

Like many other refugee children, he had once hoped to learn, to become something more, but reality forced him into labor at an early age.

The lack of access to proper education has left thousands of Rohingya children at risk.

Learning centers exist in the camps, but they are not enough.

Many families, struggling with poverty, prioritize daily survival over education. Without formal schooling, these children grow up without the knowledge and skills needed to build a better future.

Organizations working for refugee rights have long urged the international community to take action.

They emphasize that education is not a privilege but a basic human right. Without it, an entire generation of Rohingya children may remain trapped in poverty, unable to change their circumstances.

As the boy continues selling in his small shop, the world moves on.

His childhood, his dreams, and his hopes for education fade into the reality of survival.

Until serious steps are taken to provide proper education and support for refugee children, stories like his will continue to repeat, generation after generation.
