Myanmar is in Crisis
LATEST: The withdrawal of funding from the United States and other donors has drastically reduced critical aid services across Myanmar. According to the UN, over 16 million people require humanitarian assistance.
Myanmar has been devastated by conflict since the military coup in 2021, and recent funding cuts in humanitarian aid have exacerbated an already desperate situation.
Your donation to the Myanmar Humanitarian Response today will help our Christian Partners in Myanmar respond with much-needed emergency support for families such as:
- Food and nutrition support for those who are displaced
- Hygiene items to help prevent diseases
- Essentials such as temporary shelter supplies to keep families safe
- Healthcare to help those impacted by the earthquake.
Please also join us in prayer as we ask that God would comfort the people of Myanmar and bring lasting peace to the region.

Aid Urgently Needed
Violent conflict between Myanmar’s military junta and armed resistance forces means that since 2021, the number of displaced people in Myanmar has risen dramatically. The situation continues to deteriorate with the escalation of armed clashes. More than 3.7 million people were internally displaced as of April 2026, an increase of 1.6 million in one year—and this doesn’t include the thousands who have fled the country seeking refuge elsewhere
Families are living in makeshift homes and IDP (internally displaced persons) camps scattered throughout Myanmar. Finding enough food to feed everyone is a constant battle.
Cramped living conditions increase the risk of disease and, in worst case scenarios, entire camps and villages can be destroyed by disasters such as earthquakes, heavy storms or flooding, leaving already vulnerable families with the momentous task of rebuilding their shelters.
Your donation will be directed to our local Christian Partners in Myanmar who are providing urgently needed humanitarian aid for internally displaced families, as well as training and supporting humanitarian staff.

Myanmar Humanitarian Response Frequently Asked Questions
Myanmar has been devastated by conflict since the military coup in 2021. Recent funding cuts, along with the 7.7 magnitude earthquake on March 28, 2025, have added to an already desperate situation.
Any donations to the Myanmar Humanitarian Response will assist our Partners on the ground to respond to this emergency. Your donation can help provide…
- Food access to people impacted by the conflict, particularly for children and vulnerable groups who are at a higher risk of developing malnutrition. Nutrition support, including therapeutic feeding programs, is crucial to prevent and treat malnutrition amongst the affected population.
- Nonfood items include items such as blankets, mosquito nets, hygiene items, and temporary shelter supplies that are essential for the affected population to maintain their dignity and meet their basic needs
- Access to healthcare especially for those impacted by the earthquake who need emergency care or those who have ongoing medical conditions
- Protection services for those at a heightened risk of exploitation, abuse, and violence during the aftermath of the earthquake, particularly women, children, people with disabilities, and vulnerable individuals, to ensure their safety and well-being during this time.
As the situation is extremely sensitive, we cannot provide concrete information on where donor’s donations would go geographically, however, our in-country partners are responding to the emergency.
Your donation will be directed to our local Christian Partners in Myanmar who are providing urgently needed humanitarian aid for internally displaced families, as well as training and supporting humanitarian staff.
We don’t currently have a target but the need in Myanmar is ongoing and large and exacerbated by this recent earthquake. So, donations are always welcome.
