We’re pleased to share Better Burma’s Myanmar Earthquake Annual Impact Report.

This report looks back on a year of relief, rebuilding, and recovery made possible by the generosity of our donors, partners, local responders, and global community.

Together, your support helped us reach an estimated 81,012 people across Sagaing, Mandalay, and the Inle Lake region through emergency aid, reconstruction, livelihood support, mental health programs, and sustained recovery efforts.

More than anything, this report is a reflection of what your support can make possible, even in the most difficult circumstances.

Thank you for standing with Myanmar.

This World Refugee Week, we're honored to share a glimpse into life at Khaikhy Refugee Camp.

Home to 470 people from Paletwa Township and surrounding areas, the camp is a place where families from different ethnic communities have come together to support one another after being forced to leave their homes.

What moved us most was learning that the community built its own middle school and simple boarding houses through volunteer effort. Despite limited resources and years of relying on candles and firewood for light, they remained committed to ensuring their children could continue learning.

With your support, Better Burma was able to support the camp with a solar power system, bringing reliable lighting to students, families, and community spaces. While it is a small contribution, we hope it helps create a safer and brighter environment for those living there.

As we mark World Refugee Week, we remember that refugees are not defined by displacement alone. They are parents, students, teachers, and community builders working every day to create hope and opportunity for the future.

Thank you to the residents of Khaikhy Refugee Camp for sharing their story with us.

When Myanmar’s crisis began, many people fled in search of safety, education, and a chance to rebuild their lives.

For some students and families from Myanmar living in Minnesota, a new crisis emerged years later. Fear, uncertainty, and financial hardship suddenly threatened everything they had worked so hard to achieve.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to provide emergency assistance that helped students stay in school, remain housed, and continue building their futures during a difficult time.

Humanitarian aid doesn’t always stop at a country’s borders. Sometimes, it means standing with our community wherever they are.

Read our latest blog, Protecting Futures Across Borders, to learn how your support helped provide stability, dignity, and hope when it was needed most.

Many people in the Myanmar community dream of finding safety, stability, and a future free from fear. But for those seeking refuge abroad, the path is often far more difficult than it appears.

We recently listened to a powerful seminar, Australia’s Immigration Response to Myanmar’s Crisis: Policy, Practice and the Case for Reform, presented by Australian immigration lawyer Koko Ang. The discussion explored how Australia’s immigration and humanitarian systems are responding to Myanmar’s ongoing crisis, now entering its fifth year since the military coup.

Some key takeaways included:

• More than 3.5 million people are currently displaced inside Myanmar, with millions more requiring humanitarian assistance.
• Australia’s humanitarian intake remains limited compared to the scale of need, leaving many families facing years-long waits for decisions.
• Protection visa pathways for Myanmar nationals in Australia have seen relatively high approval rates, but applicants often face lengthy and complex processes.
• Refugees and displaced people in neighboring countries frequently encounter barriers that make accessing humanitarian pathways extremely difficult.
• Advocates continue to call for reforms that would create more practical and accessible pathways for those fleeing conflict and persecution.

Behind every visa application is a person, a family, and a story. Many have left behind homes, careers, studies, and loved ones in search of safety and opportunity. Their journeys remind us that displacement is not just a statistic—it is a lived reality affecting millions of Myanmar people today.

At Better Burma, we believe that sharing knowledge and amplifying informed discussions is an important part of supporting the Myanmar community worldwide. We are grateful to speakers and advocates who continue to raise awareness about the challenges faced by displaced Myanmar nationals and the reforms needed to create more humane and effective pathways to protection.

🌈 Visibility Is Power

For many people in Myanmar, visibility has never been simple.

For LGBTQ+ communities, visibility can mean risking rejection, discrimination, or violence. For those resisting military oppression, visibility can mean risking arrest, displacement, or worse. Yet despite these dangers, countless people continue to stand up, speak out, and refuse to disappear.

This Pride Month, we honor that courage.

The Visibility Is Power Equality Tee celebrates those who choose to live authentically and those who continue fighting for a future built on freedom, dignity, and human rights. The raised rainbow fists symbolize a simple but powerful truth: progress begins when people refuse to remain unseen.

In Myanmar, visibility has always been an act of resistance.

From LGBTQ+ activists advocating for equality, to communities documenting human rights abuses, to everyday people demanding a better future, change starts when people are willing to be counted, heard, and recognized.

This shirt is a reminder that every voice matters.

That every identity deserves respect.

And that a truly free Myanmar must be a place where everyone can live openly, safely, and with dignity.

Every purchase supports Better Burma’s humanitarian work assisting vulnerable communities affected by conflict and crisis across Myanmar.

Because freedom is not just the right to survive.

It’s the right to be seen.

🏳️‍🌈 Visibility Is Power.
✊ Being seen is an act of courage.
🇲🇲 A better Myanmar includes everyone.

A policy shift like this could have devastating consequences for many Burmese families living in the United States.

For years, countless Myanmar nationals fleeing war, persecution, military conscription, and political violence have relied on temporary visas, humanitarian pathways, or pending immigration cases while trying to build safer lives abroad. Many are students, workers, activists, journalists, aid workers, or young people who simply cannot safely return home.

If future U.S. immigration policies force applicants to return to Myanmar or neighboring countries in order to process Green Card applications, the risks could be enormous:

• Some could face arrest, interrogation, or persecution due to their political views or perceived ties to the anti-junta movement.
• Others may be trapped in a country still suffering from armed conflict, economic collapse, airstrikes, displacement, and forced military recruitment.
• Families could be separated indefinitely, with no guarantee they would be allowed to re-enter the United States.
• Many Burmese people already live with deep uncertainty, renewing visas, seeking asylum, or waiting years for legal pathways while supporting loved ones back home.

We urge policymakers and the international community to keep humanitarian protections at the center of any immigration reform affecting people from Myanmar.

The crisis in Myanmar is not over.
And safety should never be treated as temporary.

This past month, with the help of our supporters, we were able to provide care package support for political prisoners in Myanmar including food parcels and emergency medicine assistance for those still detained.

For security reasons, the support was delivered through a new approach: former political prisoners who were recently released helped carry supplies and assistance back to friends and comrades still inside the prison system.

This effort not only helped those currently imprisoned access urgently needed food and medicine, but also created a small source of support and purpose for former political prisoners rebuilding their lives after release.

Many former prisoners return home carrying deep emotional trauma, financial hardship, and the difficult reality of trying to start over without stable work or income. Several shared that being able to support those still behind bars helped ease feelings of survivor’s guilt and reminded them that their community has not forgotten them nor those still detained.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with Myanmar’s political prisoners and the communities supporting them quietly behind the scenes.
