This disaster has left destruction in its wake — killing at least 144 people and injuring 732 others in Myanmar. Deaths have also been reported in Thailand, with the toll expected to rise in the coming days across the region.
Myanmar is already grappling with poverty, conflict and fragile infrastructure, and has put out a request for international assistance.
Project HOPE is mobilizing an emergency response to assess local health infrastructure and provide medical care, critical supplies, and other aid to people impacted by this devastating earthquake.
But our emergency response efforts depend on your support. We need to raise $50,000 before midnight tonight to power our efforts to save lives in Myanmar while continuing our lifesaving mission around the world, wherever the need is greatest. Will you rush an emergency gift now?
