Responding to hate with love is not for everyone. It is for us.
Children in Myanmar are staring down the double barrel of a pandemic and military coup that has displaced thousands. We can’t make either go away. But we can respond with food, shelter, medical care and more.
Donate NowMyanmar’s ethnic minorities are again under assault.
The story of what’s happening in Myanmar is bigger than the protests you may have seen on the news. The dramatic increase in displaced families is a direct result of the coup by a military that fears nothing: not sanctions, not protestors, not the sanctity of life. And it’s all unfolding as a deadly wave of COVID-19 surges across the country.
