Cyclone Appeal

c. Save the Children

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) which coordinates major appeals for leading UK charities has called on the British public to donate to the cyclone in Myanmar (Burma) fund.

More than 22,000 people are confirmed dead, with a further 40,000 missing.

An international response is now underway and faces huge challenges in getting clean water, food and shelter to people in need.

How Can You Donate?

There are several ways to donate. One of the easiest is through the DEC website online or by post. Or by phone: 0870 60 60 900

The DEC will be broadcasting a national appeal for the Myanmar (Burma) Cyclone Appeal starting on 8 May.

DEC Chief Executive, Brendan Gormley, said: “our members (UK charities) are there and need the UK public to show huge generosity to help them reach those thousands of people who have seen their lives and livelihoods uprooted by this disaster.”

World Vision, the Red Cross and Save the Children are among the charities who have a long term presence in Myanmar and their teams have responded since the cyclone struck on 2 May.
