Faith in Action: Successful Toilet and shelter renovation Project for Families in Myanmar

Following the recent series of devastating earthquakes across Myanmar, countless families have been left homeless or living in unsafe, partially collapsed structures. The destruction has extended beyond just roofs and walls—it has affected lives, disrupted livelihoods, and stripped communities of safety, dignity, and hope.

In response to this crisis, the Christian Outreach Centre Foundation launched a two-fold humanitarian initiative:

  1. The Toilet Construction Project,

  2. The Shelter and House Renovation Project.

Earlier this year, through the support of faithful partners and donors, we successfully constructed and donated 20 toilets across affected communities in Mandalay, Sagaing, and Yangon. This project met urgent sanitation needs, helping families regain access to clean, safe, and dignified living conditions.

Building upon that foundation, we are now extending our mission through a Shelter and House Renovation Project—repairing damaged homes and constructing temporary shelters for displaced families. This next phase focuses on restoring not only basic facilities but full, functional living spaces, prioritizing households with young children, the elderly, widows, and persons with disabilities.

Both projects are deeply connected by one vision:

to rebuild lives through practical love, restore dignity through safe living environments, and reflect Christ’s compassion through every act of service.

By God’s grace and with the continued support of our partners, these efforts bring healing to broken homes, comfort to the displaced, and hope to those most in need.

Together, we are rebuilding—not just structures, but lives.

To God be the glory.
