Better Burma

The plan: build 250 family shelters by end of November. Each shelter costs 10,000 baht—one family protected, one future stabilized. Your support turns urgency into action. Donate: betterburma.org/donation

Families were registered on Sept 9, 2025, but displacement is escalating fast. In just days, the number of families doubled. Needs are outpacing resources. Shelter and food are now a race against time.

852 people—431 men and 421 women from 249 families—are now displaced at Palawtapoh Camp after fleeing Lay Kay Kaw, Yathay Gu, Faluu, Min Latpan, and Mae Htaw Thalay. Entire communities uprooted. Nothing left behind.

Five years on, the coup has not crushed Myanmar’s will. The people continue to resist—for dignity, freedom, and a future of their own. Take 3 seconds: comment 🇲🇲, share, and keep Myanmar visible.

Today we mark 5 years since the military coup in Myanmar. We pause for those killed, jailed, and displaced. We stand with every community still living through violence and instability. And we commit to action—because solidarity must be more than words. Myanmar is not forgotten.
