Myanmar is a disaster zone
Since the military coup on 1 February 2021, our brothers and sisters have endured escalating violence, natural disasters, and the displacement of over 3.5 million people.
And now, a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake has rocked the country – flattening towns, killing over 3,000 people, and leaving thousands more injured or missing. Humanitarian access, which was already restricted in many areas, has now deteriorated even further due to damaged infrastructure.
Over 19.9 million people, many of them children, are in desperate need of emergency assistance.
To save lives, we must act now. Please donate today to deliver urgent aid and relieve the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Myanmar.

You can help Jesuits on the frontiers
With our Jesuit partners living in communities most affected, we can deliver aid directly to where the need is greatest.
They are our eyes and ears in the communities, helping us identify urgent needs and directing your support to the areas of greatest impact.
And by working through the existing Church network, they help to distribute critical resources to people that few others can reach.
But they can’t do it alone. Your donation today can help support our Jesuit partners on the frontiers to deliver life-saving aid where it’s needed most.

A message from Myanmar’s war zone
“We were air-bombed (I was 100 feet away from the bombing spot – Deo Gratias. . .)
Four people died and seven others were injured seriously (I met the bereaved families and the victims.) More than 20 houses were destroyed. On that same night, all the villagers of a nearby district and its surrounding villages fled and now take refuge in the nearby mountains and forests..
If we continue to live out here, we will have problems with food shortages and, of course, healthy water. Some are already falling ill due to the poor weather conditions. Medicine is a challenge for us. . . There are no doctors in the village. Only two nurses are there.”
– Email received from a Jesuit priest whose village was air bombed earlier this year.
