Children affected desperately need your help.
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has struck Myanmar impacting millions of children and families across the region.
Homes and buildings have been destroyed across the country and as far away as Bangkok, Thailand. Schools are in ruins, and children are now facing the terrifying aftermath with nowhere safe to turn.
Right now, families are desperately searching for loved ones. Many have lost everything.
Please help provide urgent support by donating today.
You know how frightening it must feel. For a child, it’s beyond words. The chaos. The noise. The fear. With homes and schools destroyed and families forced out into the open, the risk to children’s safety has soared. The trauma of losing your home – or being separated from your family – can leave scars that last a lifetime.
This devastating earthquake has left families without homes, food, clean water or safe shelter. Children are sleeping outside. Many are injured. All are afraid. They’ve lost everything they knew, and they need urgent support to survive the coming days.
World Vision has worked in Myanmar for over 30 years. Our local teams are already responding and assessing the scale of the destruction. But we can’t reach everyone without your help.
As we are assessing the full impact, your donation today will help us reach families with the urgent support they desperately need – including essentials like emergency food supplies, clean water, shelter for children and families and vital hygiene kits.
In times like these, your compassion and generosity can bring light to a very dark moment. You can remind children that even in the midst of horrendous disaster they are not alone.
Please help save lives today.
Our immediate priority is ensuring access to food, clean water, shelter and healthcare to those who have been impacted.

When emergencies hit, children are often the most at risk. That’s why we need to be there – in places torn apart by disasters and conflict.
During 2024, we helped over 35 million people in emergencies - including 19 million children. We respond to humanitarian crises, caused by conflict as well as natural disasters, in 65 different countries.
We’re one of the first organisations to respond when an emergency strikes. Within 72 hours of a disaster, we can deliver lifesaving supplies anywhere in the world – often even sooner.
In the wake of a disaster, we stay to help rebuild the lives of children, families, and communities. We also help to build resilience so that if another disaster strikes, they are better able to cope.
