-MINNESOTANS FOR MYANMAR-
Minnesota is home to the largest Myanmar diaspora community in the United States. Since the most recent violent military takeover in 2021, over 3 million people have been displaced by the military's violence in Myanmar. Many of these displaced people are direct family members of our beloved Karen and Karenni neighbors here in Minnesota. The crisis in Myanmar is not a distant tragedy, it's a crisis that has a direct impact on our Minnesota community.
The Urban Village works with local partners in Thailand and Myanmar to find and supply internally displaced people in eastern Myanmar. Our efforts have been largely funded by the diaspora community here in Minnesota, whose generous contributions have already made a significant impact. However, the scale of the crisis is immense, and the need for support is greater than ever.
-Why Your Support Matters-
The internally displaced people of Myanmar face unimaginable hardships. They have lost their homes, their livelihoods, and their sense of security. Families are struggling to survive without access to basic necessities such as food, clean water, and medical care. Children are missing out on education, and entire communities are living in hiding under constant threat and uncertainty.
-How You Can Help-
As neighbors and friends of the Myanmar community, we humbly invite you to join us in solidarity with those affected in Myanmar. Your support can make a real difference in the lives of the displaced. Here are some ways you can help:
