Previous to this World Vision Myanmar had shorter term presence in the country at various stages based on specific projects or in the event of disasters. This is a National significant milestone of collaboration with Government to make a difference to the lives of children, families and communities. Director Yet, there are many vulnerable children who are still exploited, abused and neglected; children who are still not living their lives to the fullest. Hence, we are now deepening our commitment by focusing our work and resources towards the most vulnerable children. We are also in the second year of our Advocacy campaign to End Physical Violence Against Children at home and in school. We will continue to raise awareness of parents and teachers on how children could be best disciplined, to ensure they are protected & nurtured with love to bring out their fullest potential. Inspite of the many challenges, our funding increased to USD $ 30 million this year. Our subsidiary microfinance operation, Vision Fund Myanmar increased its loan portfolio to USD $ 34 million. We track our progress against the indicators in line with the UNs Sustainable Development Goals to demonstrate impact across all sectors and programs.

Cyclone Nargis
Emergency appeal n° MDRMM002 Myanmar: GLIDE n° TC-2008-000057-MMR Operations update n° 6 12 May 2008 Cyclone Nargis Desperate conditions: this family seeks a modicum of shelter in awful conditions nine days after they lost their home. (International Federation). Period covered by this Update: first six days since appeal was launched Appeal target (current): CHF 6,290,909 (USD 5.9 million or EUR 3.86 million); <click here to view the attached Emergency Appeal Budget> Appeal coverage: This appeal is already well covered. Initial planning is underway in-country as the International Federation’s ability to scale up effectively increases to support Myanmar Red Cross Society and to meet the huge needs. A revised appeal will be issued by the end of the week. This appeal will significantly scale up the plan of action and give a stronger indication of work within priority areas but there is still a considerable need to remain flexible in the face of the challenges around this operation. 2 <click here to link to the current donor response list> <click here to link to contact details > Appeal history: • This preliminary emergency appeal was launched on 6 May 2008 for CHF 6,290,909 (USD 5.9 million or EUR 3.86 million) for six months to assist 30,000 families. • Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF): CHF 200,000 has been allocated from the Federation’s DREF. Summary: A significant shift in strategic thinking has occurred to try to navigate some of the main issues facing this operation. Principal among these is a proposal to recruit and train local people in Yangon in basic relief management who would then move to ten agreed hubs in the delta (various university students have already expressed an interest).
