In response to severe flooding caused by recent heavy rains in several states and regions of Myanmar, the Singapore Sinhala Buddhist Association, Maha Garuna Buddhist Society, and Willing Hearts charitable organization have donated food and essential supplies to affected communities.

Approximately 10 tonnes of items, including nutritious food packs, clothing for adults and children, jackets, footwear, and personal hygiene products like soap and shampoo, have been sent to Yangon through the Myanmar Embassy in Singapore.

Donations were facilitated by Myanmar National Airways (MNA) and Myanmar Airways International (MAI), which provided complimentary transport for the aid from Singapore to Yangon from 23 to 27 September 2024. Over two tonnes of supplies have already arrived at Yangon International Airport on 23 and 24 September.

Donated items will be distributed to flood-stricken communities across Myanmar through the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement’s programmes. The Myanmar Embassy in Singapore is collaborating with the Singapore Sinhala Buddhist Association, Maha Garuna Buddhist Society, and Willing Hearts to ensure that aid reaches those in need.
