Responding to hate with love is not for everyone. It is for us.
Children in Myanmar have had their lives turned upside down by a military coup that has displaced over 550,000 people since it began. We can’t stop the Myanmar military. 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.
How you can help
We can’t make the long-term problem of military rule in Myanmar go away. But 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.
Rice
Deliver a month’s supply of rice to a family who had to leave their food behind.
Food Pack
Give families a pack of the most important staples to make sure everyone has enough to eat.
Medicine
Supply clinics and trained health workers with medicine for 10 people.
Tarpaulins
Provide shelter from the weather for families in their hide sites.

“The military has the authority to lead the country and harm ethnic minorities. They force them to leave and kill them even now.”

We’ve been working alongside our friends in Myanmar for 27 years.
Over this time we have formed deep relationships with these communities, always consulting with them to find out exactly what their needs are and responding as rapidly as possible. And because we specialize in providing emergency assistance where conflict and political complexity impact the wellbeing of children and their families, we are well equipped to continue to deliver food and essential supplies despite the disruption of the military coup.
