Burma: rice for orphans

In Yangon, the capital city of Myanmar (Burma), WorldShare supports an orphanage which is home to 50 children. They have already lost parents and their homes. Some have been rescued from the streets.

The orphanage run by our partner Word of Hope provides care, a safe place to live, and an education for the children.

Yet, in this very poor country, providing food every day is very expensive and a challenge for our partners.

Rice costs £16 for a 50kg sack. One sack feeds the orphans for four days. So it costs £4 to feed the orphans each day.

Could you help by…

· buying one sack of rice (£16), or

· giving just £4 to provide rice for one day?
