It has been six months since the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025.The devastating quake caused widespread damage to homes, schools, health centres, and public infrastructure across Mandalay and Sagaing regions. It has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation, with nearly 20 million people nationwide in need of assistance due to prolonged conflict, recurring natural disasters, and economic collapse. Among them are more than 3.5 million people displaced from their homes, further deepening the crisis. From Day 1, we acted swiftly—restoring access to clean water and sanitation to prevent disease outbreaks, providing food and cash assistance to address food insecurity and urgent needs, offering protection services including mental health and psychosocial support for women and children, delivering shelter assistance to displaced families, and supporting livelihood recovery through VisionFund.

World Vision is deeply concerned for the well-being of children and their families affected by the earthquake: Children are among the most affected, facing increased risks, loss of learning, and urgent protection needs. World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance to the children and the families affected by the earthquake. We aim to support 500,000 people, including 85,057 boys and 86,902 girls, through both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts.
