A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has devastated huge areas of Myanmar. Homes have been destroyed, people are trapped in rubble and many have been forced to flee to safety. Over 16 million people are severely affected.
CARE’s teams are in Myanmar responding to the crisis. We are providing communities with everything from food, to shelter, to vital healthcare.
Please donate to our emergency appeal today and help protect women and their communities facing the devastating impact of this crisis.

But we need to reach more people and help save more lives. With your help, we are prioritising:
- Cash to cover urgent needs

CARE in Myanmar
Myanmar is already a country in crisis. Before the earthquake, 19.9 million people were in need of humanitarian aid. The situation has now worsened to devastating levels.
CARE has been working with communities in Myanmar since 1995 - improving access to healthcare, food, water and hygiene. We continue to provide vital support where it’s needed most.
We’ve seen first-hand that whole communities benefit when we support women in times of crises, with the impacts felt not just for a day, but for a lifetime. Together, lets support people in Myanmar to build a safer and better future.
