About us

Christian Aid is a UK-based international development organization that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty and inequality. We have an integrated approach to poverty eradication, working worldwide on humanitarian relief, long-term development, advocacy and campaigns to expose the scandal of poverty by challenging and changing systems and institutions that favor the rich and powerful over the poor and marginalized. Christian Aid works in some of the world’s poorest communities, supporting projects on the basis of need, not religion, ethnicity, gender or nationality.

Christian Aid in Myanmar

Christian Aid has worked in Myanmar for more than 30 years in partnership with civil society and faith-based organizations and supports the building of thriving and resilient communities.

The key pillars of our work in Myanmar are: • power to change institutions • tackling violence and building peace • equality for all. This approach addresses the connected problems of disempowered and conflict affected communities, and promotes their participation in the ongoing political and peace processes in Myanmar.

Christian Aid Myanmar has expertise in strengthening civil society, peacebuilding, community health, resilient livelihoods, and emergency preparedness and response. Conflict and gender sensitivity cuts across our programme. In Rakhine our programme focuses on working closely with local partners on humanitarian assistance and peace building. We work with local partners to meet the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable communities and advocate for the rights and aspirations of all. We provide grants, technical and strategic support, mentoring and accompaniment to local partners based on their needs.
