Aid Myanmar in Crisis: Earthquake Relief

Hi friends, Myanmar has undergone an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude on March 28, 2025. Our healthcare, response systems, and infrastructure has already been crippled by the ongoing civil war and political unrest; this event has just made it significantly worse. The country is looking at extensive rebuilding, with extremely high predicted death tolls. We are students from Burmese Student Associations at various US universities, and are looking for donations to help with the relief effort in the country. Even 5 dollars is a week’s salary and will go so, so far.

We are working with Better Burma, a US based 501(c)(3) and a nonprofit humanitarian organization. They were chosen for their ability to send the funds directly to those on the ground at the epicenter of the earthquake. We will be providing regular updates on the Instagram @harvardmyanmar. Thank you all in advance.

Your money will go towards providing:

-Emergency food supplies for affected families

-Critical medical aid for the injured

-Basic necessities like food, clean water and hygiene kits,

-Shelter support for displaced families
