Our Myanmar Earthquake response is coordinated by CAMA (The US Alliance) and Alliance World Fellowship partners.
Our joint response to the 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Sagaing region on March 28th has been made within a context of ongoing relief work over the past several years as they have partnered with the C&MA of Myanmar (CMACM) to serve internally displaced people (IDPs) who have fled bombings from the ongoing civil war or climate events like flooding.
It is important to recognize that the earthquake is the latest crisis in a string of relief projects in parternship with the seven local churches from the C&MA of Myanmar and AWF members.
