CHILDREN AFFECTED BY CIVIL WAR MYANMAR

$75.00

Myanmar has been facing very difficult times. Poor families and unemployed people are mostly affected by the country’s socio-political and economical unrest and struggle to cope with life. The youth are revolting against the military government in order to support the people. The lives of youth and children are compromised and one cannot imagine the future of Myanmar. Natural disasters often occur in the country leaving many families homeless and in poverty. Education is the only hope for the children of Myanmar. The RNDM Sisters accommodate 50-60 children at the residential home in Sittwe to give them the opportunity for education. The Sisters are unable to meet all their needs due to financial challenges.

We request your kind support so that we can offer them a more hopeful future.
