You’ve made a life-changing difference for children in Chauk!

Chauk community in Myanmar is now flourishing and becoming self-sufficient - thanks to your kindness and support.

You didn't just target the symptoms of poverty. You worked hand-in-hand with the people of Chauk to tackle its root causes – making the greatest impact on the biggest issues children faced. Today, children and their families are thriving and making progress on their own. Thank you for transforming lives!

Pregnant women and new mums now have better support and access to prenatal and postnatal healthcare. And with a skilled birth attendant now at almost every birth, the risk of death for babies and mums has significantly fallen.

Thanks to you, children and families are eating well and staying healthy.

You've trained parents and caregivers to cook nutritious meals with local foods to improve nutrition and dietary diversity, ensuring children grow up healthy and nourished. Families are now growing their own vegetables, giving them a wider variety of food to eat.

Thanks to you, fewer young children are underweight and fewer children under five now suffer from stunting, a condition that affects how they develop and learn.

Chauk community will continue working to stop malnutrition, for good!

You've helped more young people gain the skills they need to earn a living by continuing their education or learning a trade.

You've helped set up savings groups that are helping many people start businesses or pay for essentials like school supplies. With stable income and strategies to weather natural disasters, parents can support their children and prepare for the future.
