Myanmar Earthquakes | March 2025

Sarah Anderson 6

We have been monitoring the aftermath of a strong earthquake that struck central Myanmar on Friday, March 28, 2025. Currently, residents are experiencing significant disruptions, and many buildings have been damaged or destroyed, leading to widespread panic. Rescue and relief efforts are underway, but the situation remains precarious as aftershocks continue to occur. Our team has proactively gathered some local and international organizations that can assist with the recovery efforts in the affected regions. These organizations are vetted and recommended for any programs you may consider running to support the impacted communities.

Thank you, Sarah for the resources! Just so I am clear, can you please explain what ‘NPO Compliance Active: Yes or No’ means exactly?
