MAGNA was founded not only to provide assistance in disasters and conflicts, but also to talk about what we see. We believe that silence can kill. We hope that by revealing injustice we can help put an end to it.
We are where we are most needed. We have more than 500 workers in the field saving children's lives in areas of major humanitarian disasters such as Congo, Syria and South Sudan. Find out more about our work in the countries where we operate.
Myanmar
In 2011, Myanmar launched a process of political, social and economic reform. People gained more rights, the number of persecuted people decreased and more foreign investors came to the country. Despite these changes, many people in rural areas are still in need of medical care.
Country Facts
Total population: 53.2 million
People affected by the crisis: 1.7 million
Rank in the Human Development Index: 148 of 188
MAGNA Intervention
MAGNA concluded all its activities in Myanmar in 2013.
Overview of the Myanmar Crisis
Medical care in the country is still insufficient. The United Nations estimates that ongoing political instability and religious tensions have driven almost 375,000 people out of their homes, and thousands have fled to neighboring Thailand. More than 100,000 Myanmar refugees live in camps along the Thai border. Approximately 22.6% of children in Myanmar suffer from malnutrition.
How did MAGNA help in Myanmar?
By January 2013, all activities put in place to support families and communities in Myanmar had been concluded.
Our activities focused on the distribution of material aid, access to health care for people during disasters, and the treatment of child malnutrition.
