Building the people who build the future.
Children attend class in a cave while their village becomes a battlefield.
After the outbreak of Covid in 2019 and the subsequent military coup in 2021, a whole generation of children in parts of Myanmar are not receiving an education. As a result of the war, many parts of Myanmar have become some of the most volatile and unsafe places to live on the planet.
Our heart is to invest in changing this situation in Myanmar by helping children to receive an invaluable education, healthy meals and basic living essentials— so that they can be better equipped for a secure life away from war, and become change-makers in Myanmar’s future.
Future Builders is a new initiative within Glad World. Together with local communities and organizations, we are paying the salaries of teachers and providing essential supplies and balanced meals for children who are growing up in civil war.
Hope is possible.
Heroes
The teachers with whom we partner are some of our greatest heroes. They brave air raids, firefights, monsoon-swollen rivers, and life in the jungle to not only educate the children, but also to provide nutrition, stability, and emotional safety. They are gripped by the conviction that a new future is possible through investing in the lives of the next generation.
Nourishment
Meals are often few and far between for many of the children. Some go for as long as four days between meals, and even then it often does not include protein. Not only is this dangerous for their wellbeing, but also makes it difficult for them to study.
We are working to provide every child in our supported schools with daily, balanced, nutritious meals.
Give today to help us feed the children and bring in more teachers!
