Children and their families continue to need urgent life-saving assistance, one month since the earthquake hit central Myanmar: Nearly 1.6 million out of 3.5 million internally displaced people are in the hardest-hit regions—Mandalay, Sagaing, and parts of Shan State. Unseasonal rain has already caused disruptions in aid delivery, but with the arrival of the monsoon season, in the coming months, the compounding effects of these challenges will be catastrophic for thousands of children who have lost their homes and are living in temporary shelters, increasing the risks of waterborne diseases.
"We’re committed to staying here—every step of the way. We’re helping families rebuild—providing food and cash assistance, clean water, and safe spaces for children, with libraries where they can learn and play. Children are getting the psychological support they need to begin healing, " - Dr Edward Zan, Sr Operations and Response Director World Vision Myanmar.
World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance to the children and their families affected by the earthquake: Through our humanitarian efforts, both immediate relief and long-term recovery, as of 29 April 2025, we have reached 279,845 people affected by the earthquake, including 86,772 children (48,416 girls, 38,356 boys).
