Donate to help us reach more children and families in Myanmar Earthquakes in Myanmar have had a devastating impact on children and families. It is the most powerful earthquake to strike Myanmar since 1912. At least 3,750 people have died and over 5,100 are injured – many of them children. The earthquake aftershocks have damaged or destroyed almost 50,000 homes. Many families are now sleeping outside, exposed to extreme heat and rain, which makes children particularly vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria. More than 2,500 schools were damaged or destroyed, displacing tens of thousands of learners and teachers. We supplied 80 tonnes of emergency supplies within the first week of the earthquake and continue to work with our partners to provide access to safe water, hygiene kits, tents, education, and medical care, as well as safe spaces for children and families. Donate now to help children in Myanmar. What is happening in Myanmar? Shortly after the earthquakes struck on 28th March, Myanmar’s National Disaster Management Committee declared a state of emergency in the six earthquake-affected areas of Mandalay, Sagaing, Magway, Shan State, Naypyidaw, and Bago. 6.3 million people, almost 2 million of them children—across 58 townships urgently require life-saving assistance. With the country now in its fourth year of escalating conflict, millions of children are living in fear, displacement, and poverty. The devastation caused by the earthquakes has worsened an already dire situation in Myanmar, further adding to the urgent needs of children. How to help children in Myanmar? The best way to help Myanmar and the children in crisis is by supporting our appeal. As the situation continues to evolve, our teams are responding in affected areas, working closely with UN agencies, partners and local communities to assess the situation and mobilise immediate response. Monthly gifts help us and our partners respond quickly to emergencies and support long-term recovery. £5 could provide 1,786 water purification tablets to purify water. £10 could provide life-saving therapeutic food for a child for a week. £27 could provide an emergency shelter for one family, and keep children safe. Donate monthly today to provide life-saving support to children. £41 could provide a family with an emergency water and hygiene kit
