Seeds of Resilience

For years, the memory of devastation hung quietly over Kyan khin Village. When a catastrophic Cyclone Nargis tore through Myanmar's Ayeyarwady Region, it didn't just flatten the local school, clinic, and homes—it shattered the community’s economic foundation. For a village reliant on farming, casual labor, and small-scale fishing, recovery was an agonizingly slow climb out of deep poverty. But true resilience doesn't just wait for the next storm; it prepares for it.
