Lucas and Yasmin are swimming 5k (200 lengths in a 25m pool) to raise money for Myanmar in the wake of the recent devastating Earthquake in Mandalay and Sagaing region. These funds will provide emergency aid to the people of Myanmar.

On March 28, 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with Mandalay at the epicenter, destroying homes, schools, and entire communities in seconds. Thousands of families have been displaced, struggling to survive without shelter, food, or medical care. With already limited resources due to ongoing military conflict, this disaster has made an already dire situation even worse.

Better Burma is committed to reaching those in urgent need, including ethnic and religious minorities and marginalized communities—especially in areas beyond military-controlled regions. We provide direct aid to those who are often overlooked and underserved in crisis situations through our trusted local networks.

How Your Donation Helps:

-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

Why This Matters

Myanmar has been facing immense challenges, from political instability to ongoing conflict and displacement. This earthquake has only deepened the suffering, leaving many communities, especially marginalized ethnic and religious minorities, without access to the aid they desperately need. Better Burma is working to ensure that support reaches these vulnerable populations, regardless of location or political barriers.
