WHERE
Myanmar Earthquake Emergency: humanitarian assistance to populations affected in the Mandalay Region
CONTEXT
The project is implemented within the humanitarian emergency context generated by the magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025, particularly affecting the Mandalay Region. The earthquake caused thousands of casualties, widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure, and the displacement of millions of people, aggravating an already extremely fragile situation marked by the 2021 military coup, ongoing armed conflict, and a severe economic and food crisis. In the Yamethin District, many health and educational facilities were significantly damaged, compromising access to essential services for local communities. In this context, the project aims to support the recovery of health and education services in the townships of Yamethin and Pyawbwe through the provision of essential equipment and materials for local hospitals and the distribution of school kits and educational materials to schools affected by the earthquake, thereby contributing to the restoration of basic services and strengthening the resilience of local communities.
