How to support relief efforts in Burma (Myanmar) and China in the aftermath of the devastating natural disasters there.
We are responding to donors who have asked us for recommendations on how to support relief efforts in Burma (Myanmar) and China in the aftermath of the devastating natural disasters there. In Burma (Myanmar) especially there is great need for immediate relief. Both countries will also need long-term support to recover. The national groups with whom we have spoken ask you to consider granting funds for both immediate and long-term relief. For long-term relief there needs to be support for the initiative “Build Back Better”, ensuring that buildings will be rebuilt to better withstand such natural occurrences.
The Community Foundation has compiled a list of organizations that we have learned are doing effective work in the area and invite you to support them.
