On March 28, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar, killing at least 2000 people and injuring thousands more. Over 20 million people are impacted, including staff and families of Tearfund’s local partners. The earthquake has caused widespread damage across more than ten townships, severely impacting infrastructure and access to services.

Listen to Phil Lindsay, Tearfund's Effectiveness and Humanitarian Team Leader.

This disaster brings further shock and instability to communities facing significant humanitarian challenges from years of conflict and displacement. Prior to the earthquake, 19.9 million people required humanitarian assistance, including 6.3 million children and 15.2 million people who are food insecure. Humanitarian response in Myanmar has been severely impacted by the global shock to humanitarian funding in 2025, disrupting critical aid to many highly vulnerable populations.

Now more than ever, your urgent support is needed to ensure the most vulnerable are protected and provided for.

Stand with the people of Myanmar in this moment of urgency and suffering as together we support Tearfund local partners in their response to this earthquake. Your support will get to those most in need of emergency assistance and make a lifesaving difference.

Due to the earthquake that struck on the 28th, many people in Mandalay City have faced difficulties and have had to relocate to safer areas. Similarly, our families no longer feel safe staying in our homes, so we have also moved to a safer location alongside other families.
