Relief Efforts in Myanmar
In Myanmar, CARE works to improve living standards in rural communities by improving access to healthcare, food, livelihoods, water, sanitation, and hygiene. All our programs address inequalities faced by women and girls. We have a particular focus on health education, HIV prevention, and nutritional support for children and pregnant women. We also tackle values and beliefs that prevent women from seeking health advice. We support farmers to grow crops and rear livestock, and help people access basic financial services. We provide emergency relief when this is needed, and are committed to providing continued post-emergency support.
CARE first began work in Myanmar (then Burma) in 1950 through a partnership with UNESCO and has been working consistently in Myanmar since 1995.
