In cyclone-hit Myanmar, Habitat for Humanity is in the process of establishing an initial partnership with World Concern. This will involve the provision of assistance to 1,000 families and the creation of Habitat resource centers in the worst-affected parts of the Irrawaddy delta.
In addition, cyclone-resistant shelters will be constructed, with each acting as a “safe” house for up to 100 people in the event of future storms. Over the planned two-year response, Habitat will cycle construction and program staff through World Concern. A total of nine Habitat staff representing various organizations in the region have been identified for various terms of service in Myanmar. Visas for the initial support team have been secured. Reconstruction efforts are expected to begin later this year given that World Concern and other organizations are still in the relief phase of their response.
To anyone who wishes to donate to support Habitat's response to Myanmar cyclone, Habitat Japan is now speaking out in an effort to gather donations in Japan to join in this recovery effort. Your kind support would be highly appreciated.
