Myanmar have been significantly affected by ongoing political instability, economic challenges, and natural disasters. Many communities face limited access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and electricity—especially in rural and conflict-affected areas. The economic situation has worsened, leading to rising prices and job insecurity. Recent natural disasters, like the March 2025 earthquake, have further strained already vulnerable communities, damaging homes, infrastructure, and essential services.
