Children of the Mekong

Friday 28 March, a major earthquake struck Myanmar. The epicentre is located in a region where Children of the Mekong works with local communities for many years (Mandalay / Sagaing). Communication with our local teams is very difficult, but we know the consequences will be severe.  Act now, so that we are ready to help. In a country marked by political instability and poverty, a natural disaster can wipe out everything. Support Children of the Mekong's emergency fund so we can: Provide immediate assistance  as soon as needs are identified Support  the families and children affected Participate in reconstruction  if necessary

Join the Star of the sea fundraiser! For more than 20 years, Batang (Children in Visaya) Mekong has been working in the Inayawan garbage dump area where a majority of the inhabitants still work as ragpickers, sorting waste in the storage warehouses that dot the area. The aim of the project is to accompany the families towards a better life. Batang Mekong acts on different levels to give families the means to move forward with the care and education of young children in the preschool and the professional and spiritual training of the parents. Today, Batang Mekong runs 9 preschools that accomodate 106 children, 5 days a week. Thanks to these preschools children develop in good conditions by providing them with an environment conducive to a healthy daily life. These good developmental conditions cover several aspects of the children’s lives: feeding, health and safety, hygiene, and playing and learning.
