Emergency aid after the earthquake

The earthquake on March 28, 2025, has worsened the humanitarian situation in Myanmar. Those affected lack water and food, and the hygiene situation is dire.

We will not abandon the people of Myanmar! Your donation will enable us to distribute essential relief supplies and repair sanitation facilities.

Myanmar is still suffering from political turmoil accompanied by civil unrest and wide spread armed resistance. Also in Rakhine State tensions are building again and conflict has re-erupted after a spell of relative tranquility. Additionally, extreme weather perils like strong seasonal rainfalls, landslides, floods and/or periods of seasonal droughts maintain to threaten the communities in the area. 

arche nova and partners aim to structurally improve living conditions for the inhabitants of 25 local villages in Ann Township. Our interventions include civil society strengthening, Community WASH and WASH in Schools, Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response.

Global program in 14 countries

In order to protect the ecosystem in our project regions, arche nova pursues a green humanitarian aid approach in Myanmar. When planning, implementing, and monitoring aid measures, we take a forward-looking, environmentally friendly approach that is adapted to the local habitat. These activities are part of a global program that we are implementing in cooperation with ASB, the German Toilet Organization, and numerous local partners. Together, we are advancing issues such as inclusion, environmental sustainability, disaster preparedness, and international knowledge transfer in a total of 14 countries.
