Secondary and high school students from Turkey have raised money to build six houses for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

A total of 600 students in the Aegean Izmir province organized the aid campaign -- initiated by Turkish Deniz Feneri Association -- to support Rohingya in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar district.

The houses would be built for Rohingya Muslims fleeing state persecution in Myanmar.

Muhammet Arif Kumanova, 11th grade student, and 9th grade student Mikail Bayindir told Anadolu Agency they were very happy to help people in need.
