Dear friends and supporters,
Thank you for your continued support. This is our latest report from our team on the ground in Myanmar.
The Problem
In the small town of Inwa, Myanmar, a recent earthquake destroyed more than just old buildings—it destroyed jobs. The local economy depended on tourism, which is now gone.
Parents can no longer afford basic school supplies for their children. The new school year has started, but kids are showing up to class with empty hands. They feel left behind, living in what locals now call a "forgotten town."
How We Help
This time, we are providing simple school supply kits to these students. Each kit contains the essentials a child needs to learn: notebooks, pencils, pens, and an eraser.
We recently gave these kits to 200 children. The relief and happiness on their faces showed us that this small gift means so much. It's a reminder that they are not forgotten and that their education matters.
Why We Need You
The school year is underway, and hundreds of children are still waiting. Without these basic tools, they can't keep up in class. Your help is needed now to give them a fair chance to learn.
How Your Gift Is Used
Your donation will directly purchase and deliver these school kits.
$10 gives one child a full school supply kit.
$50 helps five students get the tools they need to learn.
$100 can supply a small classroom of 10 children.
Please help the children of Inwa. Your gift, no matter the size, will put a pencil in a child's hand and show them that someone cares.
