Join us as we work with Myanmar communities delivering health, education and relief programmes
The conflict in Myanmar has left more than 16 million people in desperate need, nearly 3.8 million people have been displaced and are without food, shelter or healthcare. The education system has collapsed, shattering the dreams of thousands of young people. The humanitarian crisis in Myanmar is massive, but with your help, we can work with local communities to bring hope.
What We Do
Health & Hope is a non-profit, non-political, and non-government organisation based on Christian values. Our vision is to see empowered, thriving and self-sustaining communities in and from Myanmar.
Our mission is to restore hope, relieve suffering, and support sustainable development with vulnerable communities in and from Myanmar. We do this by providing healthcare, education, sustainable livelihoods, and humanitarian relief.
The military coup in Myanmar has created a desperate crisis across the country. Media coverage is minimal, and many are unaware of the situation. The situation is urgent and is worsening every day.
Our Work
Health
Improving access to public health and primary medical care.
Education
Providing scholarships to talented young people from Myanmar.
Relief
Delivering relief to vulnerable communities.
Our Story
One man’s passion to bring hope to his people
In the early 2,000s, a local Burmese man dreamed of bringing primary healthcare to Chin State, a rural region in Western Myanmar. Life for villagers in the region was difficult, with little or no healthcare facilities, limited education opportunities, and chronic food shortages.
As a boy, this young man saw his parents taken for forced labour, and girls in his village violated. He witnessed the death of friends from preventable illnesses such as diarrhoea and saw many women and babies die during childbirth.
The young man walked for many days to reach the high school in Yangon. He was the first child from his village ever to attend. On his return, his community sold their livestock to send him to college in India and later sent him abroad to study medicine. Despite having to learn three new languages to gain his education, he graduated at the top of his class.
His dream was also to enable young people to have the same opportunities that he had received to fulfil their potential. That young man was Dr Sasa, and his passion to serve his people led to the birth of Health & Hope in 2009. You can read more about Dr Sasa's remarkable story here.
In 2021 Dr Sasa stepped down from his leadership role at Health & Hope to pursue a political career.
