COVID & monsoon relief for island communities
The coronavirus epidemic is hitting local fishing communities in Myanmar hard.
With seafood processing plants stalling and border restrictions slowing down exports, global seafood trade has come to an abrupt halt. For fishermen relying on seafood trade and villagers depending on trading goods with fishermen that means their main source of income is dwindling.
Monsoon season with its heavy rains and dangerous storms is approaching fast, further restricting people's ability to make a living and save money to send their children to school.
We have been in touch with community leaders in several villages to find out how we can help villagers get through these hard times.
That's why we are raising funds to send a boat with at least one month worth of basic supplies (rice, oil, salt, soap) for every person to the following villages:
There are a total of 1,827 villagers in the three villages with 113 children attending local schools.
Additional funds raised will be used to cover children's school expenses.
