Provision of emergency relief kit to schools affected by the earthquake in Myanmar (Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects)
April 11, 2025
The Government of Japan has decided to provide emergency relief kits, including water tanks and emergency evacuation tents, to people at monastic schools in the Mandalay region who have been forced to live in evacuation shelters due to the damage caused by the earthquake that struck central Myanmar.
- The monastic schools that will be provided with support have been providing educational opportunities to children who have been unable to attend school due to the conflict, as well as providing livelihood support to internally displaced persons. The earthquake has damaged buildings and water supply facilities, and at present, sufficient relief supplies have not reached the schools, and the displaced people are being forced to live in difficult conditions. It is hoped that the support will enable the children, students and teachers of the monastic schools to live in safe and hygienic evacuation shelters.
- The Government of Japan will continue to actively implement humanitarian assistance that directly benefits the people of Myanmar in need of support.
