Supporting Political Prisoners in Myanmar

Our ongoing “Prisoner Support Fund” provides essential assistance to political prisoners in Myanmar who have been unjustly detained. Through a trusted local network, we deliver food, hygiene items, and other necessities to these individuals, who often face harsh conditions with limited access to proper nutrition. With the military blocking family visits and disrupting food deliveries, this initiative is a lifeline. Our work is possible only through individual donations, and we are deeply grateful to all supporters. With more contributions, we can continue offering critical aid and hope to those unjustly imprisoned in Myanmar’s darkest times. We share a recent report by the program’s coordinator, and we gratefully appreciate those who have supported it!


Knowing that people outside still care for us gives us strength. These small acts of kindness remind us that our fight is not in vain.

Dear Supporters and Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I am writing to share the heartwarming and impactful results of our recent donation drive to support political prisoners in Myanmar. Your generosity and unwavering support have made a significant difference in the lives of those who are unjustly detained for their beliefs and actions towards democracy.

The total funds received were utilized to provide essential care packages and a special treat of spicy fried chicken with chilies. The care packages included:

  • Basic hygiene items (soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste)

  • Essential food items (rice, cooking oil, canned goods)

  • Personal care items (sanitary products, shaving kits)

  • Nutritional supplements (vitamins, protein bars)

Beneficiaries: The care packages and meals were distributed to a total of 30 political prisoners. These brave individuals have sacrificed their freedom for the greater good of our country, and it is our duty to ensure they feel supported and not forgotten.

Impact: The emotional and psychological impact of this gesture cannot be overstated. Many of these prisoners have been separated from their families and loved ones for an extended period, facing harsh conditions and uncertainty about their future. Receiving these care packages and a special meal reminded them that they are not alone in their struggle. It reinforced their resolve and provided a moment of comfort and hope amidst their challenging circumstances.

One prisoner, upon receiving the care package, said, "Knowing that people outside still care for us gives us strength. These small acts of kindness remind us that our fight is not in vain." Another expressed, "The spicy fried chicken brought back memories of home and family, a taste of normalcy that we dearly miss."

Your contributions have brought smiles, hope, and a sense of solidarity to these courageous individuals. As we continue to support and advocate for their freedom, let us remember that our actions, no matter how small, can create ripples of change and provide immense support to those in need.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion. Together, we stand in solidarity with the political prisoners of Myanmar, sending a strong message that their sacrifices are recognized and valued.

With heartfelt gratitude,
C
