Whether in Myanmar or forced over the border, families continue to face immense hardship in this seemingly forgotten crisis. With some families skipping meals in order to feed their children, access to food continues to be a critical priority.

But you are a beacon of hope in this dark situation because you care about the people of Myanmar.

Malnutrition is a tragic consequence of the on-going conflict, particularly for children, but with your help, we can continue to support those in greatest need.

This Christmas time, I would like to therefore ask you to consider a gift to our Food banks Project. This will enable us to replenish urgently needed stocks for our 6 food banks.

The food banks provide a revolving store of food items such as rice bags, oil, and dal at greatly subsidised cost. This enables those who purchase these items to do so.

More than 2,000 people have been supported through our Food Banks since we launched them last year, giving dignity and hope to those who have secured jobs, whilst continuing to support the most vulnerable with essential food items free of charge.

Our Director of our Humanitarian relief department shares more about how vital the Food banks are as a lifeline to many:

“During a visit to camps with a mobile medical clinic in June, I witnessed first-hand the dire circumstances faced by many families, with some stating they only eat properly when aid from Health & Hope is provided. The lack of adequate nutrition has resulted in widespread malnourishment among children in these camps.  Therefore, we are committed to focusing more resources on these camps to provide whatever aid we can afford.”

How your gift can make a difference

£20 enables us to purchase one 50kg bag of rice to re-stock the food bank.

£40 means we can provide medical care and support for emergency referrals.

£100 provides five 50kg bags of rice to re-stock the food bank.

Ba Kaung (name changed) shares how the food banks have helped him and his family:

“As a refugee, it was challenging to support my family due to the lack of stable income opportunities, including daily wage jobs. Fortunately, Health & Hope provided us with essential support, including food, shelter, household items, and medical care.

Thanks to God's grace, the food bank project for us has been incredibly helpful. Although it's not entirely free, we can purchase essential items at half price and even access credit facilities that allow us to pay later. God Bless Health & Hope.”

It doesn't matter what the size of your gift is, please support this vital project today.

Thank you.
