Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of our relief and assistance activities in Myanmar.
It has now been more than one year since the devastating earthquake struck central Myanmar in March 2025.
Many of the areas affected by the earthquake are located in the dry zone of central Myanmar. The region has long been characterized by low annual rainfall and frequent droughts, making life difficult for local residents. In addition, from April to May each year, the region experiences extreme heat, with temperatures reaching as high as 45°C.
Under these circumstances, securing sufficient water is a difficult task on its own. To make matters worse, pumping water from wells turned out to be a challenging task due to frequent power outages in many parts of the country. Normally, villagers use electric engines to pump water from wells. However, during power outages, they are forced to rely on fuel-powered engines, which is extremely expensive now since the start of the military conflict in the Middle East. Unable to secure water during frequent power outages, local communities faced severe water shortages.
In response to this situation, we provided water to nearby villages in May. May is one of the hottest months of the year, and residents in the target villages found it particularly difficult to secure water during that time. We got the water from nearby wells and treated it using filtration equipment to ensure its safety. In response to our efforts, locals commented: “This water is critical for our lives.”
Even today, many people in the affected areas continue to face harsh living conditions. We will continue working closely with our local teams and communities to provide assistance to those are in need.
Once again, we express our heartfelt appreciation for your warm support and generosity, hoping for your continued understanding and cooperation in our activities.
