What We Do (2021)

 

 

Following the 2021 Myanmar Military Coup, many of us from different organisations within Australia have been desperate to help the people of Myanmar. A large cross section of the Australian Myanmar community organisations wanting to help span different ethnic groups, religions, professions, student groups and generations. In acting swiftly upon hearing news of the coup, our extended Myanmar Australian community mobilized and organised various activities and events (such as protest by diverse Sydney Myanmar communities, candle light vigil, awareness campaigns, lobbying, fundraising for Myanmar, mental health program for Myanmar and etc.) to send a clear and loud message to the people of Myanmar that they are not alone and we are all united to support Myanmar. 


Despite our efforts and campaigns, the situation in Myanmar still has not changed and Myanmar is now facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with emerging poverty crisis, existing Covid-19 and escalating armed conflicts resulting in more than 1 million internally displaced persons and refugees. According to UN, more than 3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Myanmar. ABCD Network has worked together with the Australian Burmese community to raise much needed awareness for Myanmar and funds for the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.


Commencing October 2021, ABCD has entered into a partnership with “Australian Mercy” – international NGO to provide direct and immediate aid to Myanmar through active on ground local charities with no links to military.
