Myanmar Relief Fund

The military coup in 2021 displaced over 2.8 million people and left more than 18 million in need of humanitarian aid. Christians have faced severe persecution, with the state military using landmines to prevent access to essential areas. There were 10,052 casualties in 2023 alone.

To enable safe return to churches and livelihoods, Shai Fund is using Israeli de-mining experts to remove landmines, and raising community awareness through training and education.

Your support for the Christians of Myanmar will change the future of communities for generations to come.

Project Overview

The Need

‍Myanmar (formerly Burma) had a military coup in February 2021. The instability following the coup in Myanmar displaced more than 2.8 million people and left more than 18 million people in dire need of humanitarian aid. In addition to this crisis, the predominantly Christian populations in states like Kareni are facing direct persecution from the state military who are using landmines to control the civilian population. In 2023 alone there were 10,052 casualties, and this threat continues to prevent people from accessing their towns, cities, fields and churches (which are specifically targeted).

The Solution

‍Training and education will provided through community engagement to raise awareness. Israeli experts in de-mining will map out and assess the landmine zones. After identifying high risk areas landmines will be removed, enabling Christian communities to return to their churches and regain their livelihoods.
