Child Sponsorship Program - Yangon

Meet Muang from the Chin Refugee Centre in Yangon

Muang is originally from Chin state, which is located in the far North-West region of Myanmar. Even though he left his hometown to start a refugee shelter in Yangon many years ago, which is better known as the Chin Refugee Centre, there are many people who are going through very hard times in Chin state today.

Muang's rental apartment in Yangon has been turned into a sanctuary for a multitude of financially disadvantaged people, and most of those people were born in Chin state.

In addition to Muang's nuclear family, he has gone to a great deal of effort to accommodate students, internally displaced people and financially disadvantaged children from single-parent families.

Accommodation means so much more than just providing a rain shelter for the children in Muang's care. Muang will use your hard earned money to purchase:

● Better quality food

● Clean water

● Reliable power

● Children's clothing

● Toiletries

● Hygiene products

● Educational materials

● Stationery

Muang is serious about empowering the teenagers in his care to become more self-reliant. This is why Muang has previously spent money on sewing machines, which is an excellent money-making trade for a developing country like Myanmar.

Muang's expenses have increased dramatically ever since the Mission2Myanmar (M2M) started financially supporting the Chin Refugee Centre in Yangon. Since there is currently no end in sight for the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar, M2M decided to start this Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) to tackle poverty and improve welfare.

For only $AUD20 a month, you can make a difference in a child's life.

A message from Muang

In this video, Muang shows the current state of the facilities at the Chin Refugee Centre in Yangon. In the video, you can see the dormitories of the children and the communal eating hall. All of this was made possible by donations to Mission2Myanmar. However, many of these children lack education, and clothing. This is why the Mission2Myanmar Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) was started. You can view active projects below. If you would like to know more about any of these, please contact info@mission2myanmar.org

Our Projects

Here are some of the projects that Mission2Myanmar is working on at the moment. With your help, projects like these can improve the lives of children in Myanmar greatly. Our vision is to provide many more children with support. Yangon is just the start.

Education

M2M is currently supplying children at the Chin Refugee Centre, in Yangon, with educational materials. With your help, students otherwise unable to access education can learn again.

Purified Water

We believe that access to clean water is a basic human right. Our advanced purification technology ensures that our water is safe and free from contaminants for the children.

Food and Shelter

Many of the children at the Chin Refugee Centre, in Yangon, have been displaced from their homes, and amidst a food shortage, many would otherwise starve. Muang aspires to provide all the children with shelter and food, however more support is needed to ensure this support into the future.

How you can help

Below is a list of children currently under Muang's care. You may choose to sponsor one child, or many.
