Being far apart from their loved ones during Ramadan, is not something new for refugees

Before you can finally have a permanent home, you have to live in foreign countries like Indonesia for many years, with limitations. Unable to work, while basic needs are pressing. Have the ability to study, but education opportunities are limited due to previous unfinished schools. Other challenges ahead await.

This is a picture of the many lives of refugee families in Indonesia. At the end of March 2020, there are some 13,550 refugees hosted in Indonesia and registered with UNHCR. Many of them come from Afghanistan, Somalia and Myanmar (Rohingya refugees). They live in several cities in Indonesia like Jakarta, Medan, Tanjung Pinang, Pekanbaru, Makassar and Kupang.

Ramadan is supposed to be a month full of blessings. This year, we celebrate Ramadan in difficult times, while we face Corona virus, that limits our social activities and worshiping activities. For us, this change is difficult to bear, for refugees the challenges they have to endure are heavier that the years before.
