Responding to hate with love is not for everyone. It is for us.
The military in Myanmar are attacking protesters in the cities and chasing villagers out of their homes and into the forest in the ethnic states. You can respond to their hate with food, shelter and medical care for displaced families.
Donate NowMyanmar’s ethnic minorities are again under assault.
The story of what’s happening in Myanmar is bigger than the protests you see on the news. One can effortlessly connect the dots from military coup to corresponding attacks on people in areas we have worked for 27 years. This 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.
How you can help
We can’t make the long-term problem of military rule in Myanmar go away. We can address the short-term problem of I’m hungry, is there anything to eat?
Flashlight
Ensure families on the run aren’t left completely in the dark at night by supplying a flashlight.
Blanket
Provide blankets to help protect displaced families forced to sleep outside.
Food
Deliver enough rice so a family who had to leave their food behind can have enough to eat for a month.
Tarpaulins
Provide shelter from the weather for families in their hide sites.
Medicine
Supply clinics and trained health workers with medicine for 10 people.
Early Warning
Give communities a rechargeable walkie-talkie (with solar panel) to warn nearby villages of imminent attacks.
“The military has the authority to lead the country and harm ethnic minorities. They force them to leave and kill them even now.”
