Relief items arrived at Yangon International Airport, then moved onto trucks for transportation to Mandalay for the earthquake response.
World Vision, in partnership with the local organisations, Life and Myanmar Baptist Convention (MBC), has provided shelter materials to families affected by the earthquake in Mandalay.
Children previously suffered from illnesses such as diarrhea due to unsafe water. With the new system, students now have access to clean drinking water.
Children resume learning through child-friendly libraries set up by World Vision.
On the day of the earthquake, I was very scared and worried. Now those worries are gone. I am thankful for this programme. This place (the Child Friendly Space) is called Happy World. We gave it this name. Kyi, 9 years old
For over a week, I couldn't sleep. Once the teachers explained how to stay safe during future earthquakes, my fear vanished, and I could live normally again. I also received child protection items, which were very useful and made me very happy. Poe, 16 years old
Myanmar Earthquake Response 180 Days
“As we mark one year since the earthquake, the path to recovery is far from over. Families still need sustained, predictable support to rebuild their futures. Helping families get back to work or to generate income for themselves helps families become resilient. This is not just about short-term help but over the long-term this will protect their children’s health and well-being.” shares Dr. Erwin Lloyd Guillergan, National Director for World Vision in Myanmar.
We believe that the path to rebuilding homes and livelihoods for these families is full of challenges. Long-term support and companionship are essential to help them recover and move toward a brighter future.
