Mingalaba! When you arrive in Myanmar, you’ll step into what was once known as the ‘Golden Land’ for its rich natural resources and lush paddy fields. It is also home to many Buddhist temples and pagodas. Burmese people are known for their gentle, kind and hardworking nature, as well as for eating, not just drinking, tea!

In Myanmar, families are struggling to meet their basic needs. More than 15 million people do not know where their next meal is coming from. Conflict and natural disasters in the country have left many children displaced, facing an uncertain future. Already vulnerable children are now at severe risk of trafficking, labour and abuse.

Yet God's Church is on the move in Myanmar. Local churches are protecting the most vulnerable. The wellbeing of each child is transforming through nutritious food, clean water and trauma counselling. With opportunities to go to school or pursue vocational training, children and youth are moving towards a better future.
