We take a humanitarian approach to the support we render here in Myanmar and strongly believe that together, we can impact and empower women and children to live a much-fulfilled life which then leads to growth and the ability for them to stand on their own.
Firstly, we provide practical intervention support for the most vulnerable families in Yangon. We organise a monthly outreach visit were we provide food packages, basic healthcare supplies, clothes, household items and more. The food parcels are purchased from the kind donations we receive from the public whilst the other items are donated to us by the expat community living here in Yangon.
Secondly, we help educate the children by sponsoring the tuition fees for children whose parents are living below the poverty line, orphans or have chronic or terminal health conditions. We don’t use the third party approach when making payments. We pay the local teachers directly so we can track and monitor their progress closely. The teachers are accountable to us and monthly reviews and progress checks are carried out by our staffs. Our hands-on practical support brings an instant emotional boost and brings hope to a hopeless situation.
We don’t just stop there, we also have our kind volunteers who dedicate their time to teaching the children English, Maths and Science. Once every six weeks, we educate the women on basic hygiene, family planning and good parenting.
Our long term plan is to find out what the women are good at, teach and empower them with the relevant skills so they can stand on their own and be able to fend for their families and impact their local community and society at large.
