Australian Christian Churches World Relief aims to raise $50,000 for Myanmar Appeal
"Not since the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004 has the Peninsula Asia region seen such tragedy. In one town alone over 10,000 people have been killed by this natural disaster. As followers the Lord Christ we cannot ignore the cries of our brothers and sisters in Myanmar. It is our calling to reach out and show them the love of our Father, so please donate today to help us provide much needed aid for the thousands of people affected by this disaster".
- Ps. Jack Hanes, President of Australian Christian Churches World Relief
"The immediate need is to provide emergency aid to those who have survived this terrible natural disaster. Myanmar is considered one of the poorest countries in South East Asia and the impact of Cyclone Nargis will have totally destroyed what little the Burmese people have. The Australian Christian Churches can make a significant difference if we rally together to help our neighbours as they attempt to rebuild their lives."
- Ps. Alun Davies, Peninsula Asia Regional Director
Myanmar Appeal Information
This appeal has been launched by Australian Christian Churches World Relief to provide short-term emergency relief assistance to those affected by the Cyclone Nargis, which hit the coast of Myanmar on the 2nd of May this year.
Estimates of the death toll from this natural disaster are the highest in Asia since the 2004 Tsunami. Recent figures estimate that the extent of the devastation is over 20,000 casualties and another 41,000 missing. It is estimated that 24 million people populated the Irrawaddy Delta Region where the cyclone hit and the other 4 areas which have been officially declared a disaster zone.
There is a vast need for basic relief food, shelter and water to be provided to communities within cyclone affected districts in Myanmar. Funds raised from this appeal go towards helping affected families and communities by meeting basic needs such as, but not limited to; temporary shelter, food, utensils and basic necessities.
Any surplus funds raised will be designated to another needy Australian Christian Churches World Relief or Community Development Program which will alleviate poverty and suffering.
