A serious earthquake has hit Myanmar, in an area that has already been affected by conflict.
There is limited information on the impact of this earthquake, but buildings have been damaged in neighbouring Thailand, so it is likely to be devastating.
Through the Catholic Church, we can provide the emergency help that affected families will need – food, water and shelter.

How your donations can help in Myanmar
As we journey through Lent, we are reminded of the world's deep need for love and hope, as well as the practical help that we can give with your donations.
If you’ve donated to our Family Fast Day Appeal this Lent, thank you so much – these funds help us to respond quickly to emergencies in and out of the headlines, as well as providing long-term support for people like Lokho.
Prayer for the people of Myanmar
Please join us in praying for the people of Myanmar and other affected areas.
God, our strength and our help
in times of trouble,
be with your people now,
in the aftermath of this earthquake.
Move us to come together
offering shelter for the homeless,
rest to the weary
comfort to the injured and distressed
so that although all is unsteady
and faith may be shaken,
the light of your hope shines through.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
