Amid all the tragedies caused by the 2025 earthquake in Myanmar, the Baan Unrak Foundation, together with our partner teams, has been doing everything — and more — to bring relief and hope to those who lost everything.
On April 19, Cirismita and the Green Island School Team carried out an emotional donation, distributing rice to 469 families in the village of Thanlatmaw and 400 families in Sein Pan. The effort was a testament to the dedication of local volunteers, who worked tirelessly to organize, pack, and deliver the essential supplies despite limited resources. Many team members spent long hours under the sun, ensuring that every family, especially the most vulnerable, received their share.
Their commitment not only provided immediate relief but also strengthened the sense of community, as neighbors came together to support one another in a time of need. This act of solidarity highlighted the profound impact of collective effort in overcoming hardship. In Sein Pan, in addition to the 6kg of rice, volunteers also delivered long-lasting food, with the amazing help of the people from the village of Kyaukmee.
And this wave of kindness didn’t stop there. The Green Island School Team, along with volunteers from Mandalay, spent three days visiting affected areas, listening to the people, and preparing for new distributions.
The result? On April 25, we managed to deliver aid to another 720 families in Thanlatmaw (West), each receiving rice, oil, and a small bag of peanuts — a little extra comfort amidst the chaos.
But the situation is still very critical in Khamwekhone, where 230 more families were assisted, many people are living in the temple because they lost their homes and everything they had.
Over 250 people are living in the temple, with only ONE working bathroom. Can you imagine? We want to fix the broken bathrooms, build new ones, and dig a well to ensure access to clean water — because dignity cannot wait.
And there’s still so much more to be done: building simple shelters, repairing or digging wells in several communities that reach out for our help every day.
That’s why we need you. Every donation, every act of solidarity, makes a huge difference for these families who are trying to rebuild their lives from scratch. Let’s turn this pain into hope, together. You can help us continue our work by donating directly to Baan Unrak Foundation:
