Microloans to help earthquake-affected women rebuild livelihood

When a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar in 2025, it didn't just destroy homes, it wiped out the local economy and the small businesses many women relied on to support their families. For mothers left with no capital and no income, rebuilding their livelihoods can feel nearly impossible.

This gift provides small business loans to women recovering from the disaster, giving them what they need to restart, restock, and earn again on their own terms, and with it, a renewed sense of purpose and independence. What makes this gift especially powerful is that it doesn't stop with one family: as loans are utilised, the local economy gets a much needed capital boost to recover quickly post-earthquake. As loans get repaid, those same funds are lent out again to the next woman rebuilding her life, creating a ripple of hope that reaches further and further with every cycle. For children, a mother's income restored means school fees paid, meals back on the table, and a family finding steady ground again.
