Myanmar

1 in 7 kids in Myanmar won’t make it to their 5th birthday. But we can change that.

Because the death of any child from preventable disease is unacceptable, we’re accepting the challenge to fund seven clinics in areas where active conflict has left thousands of kids without access to the health care.

No parent should have to lose their child from preventable illness and disease.

We have an ambitious plan to give kids in Myanmar the healthcare they need to thrive and survive all the way to school age and beyond. First, we’ll increase access to treatment by stocking seven clinics serving 30,000 people in rural areas of eastern Myanmar with the medicine needed to care for sick kids. Second, we’ll train health workers who will travel out to remote villages for patient visits and to provide education on personal hygiene, sanitation, maternal health, malaria control and other important health topics.

How you can help

Provide Treatment

Provide a clinic with the medicine it needs to treat 10 kids suffering from preventable illnesses.

Train A Healthworker

Deliver training to a local health worker who will condct patient visits and community education.

Fund A Clinic

Keep the clinic doors open and the shelves stocked with medicine for a whole month.

“I am really thankful to the health workers in the clinic. It is really helpful for my family.”

When Kyaw Htee Ker’s wife passed away, he suddenly found himself left with three young children to care for on his own.

“My youngest was only one and three months and was still breastfeeding.”

With a sick baby and unable to afford formula, he walked 4 hours to Noh Yoe Hta Clinic for treatment. The health workers gave him a supply of formula as well as medicine to treat his son, ensuring one tragedy did not grow into another.

Let’s get more kids in conflict areas better access to health care.

Because we want to see more of them making it to their fifth birthday and experiencing free, full lives.
