NGOS Cross-border Disaster Relief Collaboration

March 28 – To shelter those left homeless by the earthquake in Nay Pyi Taw, within just three hours after the quake, the 1919 Food Bank (an overseas strategic partner of HISTEAM) quickly converted its black soldier fly farm in Myanmar into a temporary shelter. By evening, the first to move in were 19 children and 3 volunteer teachers from a nearby orphanage. This orphanage was originally located in Lashio but was forced to relocate to Taunggyi last July due to occupation by rebel forces. Just three weeks ago, it moved again to Nay Pyi Taw, but yesterday’s earthquake destroyed their rented home.

March 29 – Residents of Nay Pyi Taw usually cook using electric stoves, but due to a citywide power and water outage, volunteers went to the market early in the morning to purchase gas tanks, gas stoves, cookware, tableware, and food in order to prepare meals for the orphans at the shelter. However, nearly all markets and shops were closed, and volunteers are now actively seeking alternative solutions.

The Chinese Christian Relief Association (CCRA) is also collaborating with partners such as the Nay Pyi Taw Theological Seminary, the Love Myanmar Foundation, and HISTEAM from Malaysia to develop concrete relief efforts, hoping to expand services to reach more disaster victims.
