Computer for Orphans

The Mary K. Yap Foundation offers the “Basic Computer for You” program as one of the Foundation’s ongoing efforts under the “Educational Advancement” commitment for all Myanmar Orphans. The Foundation commits to giving financial assistance to highly inspired orphaned children to have basic knowledge of computer applications and learn their technological advantages.

The program aims to offer the best possible experience in class, with hands-on lessons for selected orphans to apply, incorporate, and use Technology to aid their learning and increase their productivity.

The intentions of the Mary K. Yap Foundation are for the progress of these young, orphaned children as they learn the advantages of computer applications and internet browsing. The Foundation believes that learning how to utilize the computer properly will open the door to a lot of opportunities. In addition, computer knowledge can also be beneficial for passing university college and having access to many job opportunities for these young children in the future.

Sponsor a Child Program

Have you ever thought of doing something enriching, never done before that is exceptionally gratifying? It’s about changing a person’s life forever with one single step.

Have you ever thought of doing something enriching, never done before that is exceptionally gratifying? It’s about changing a person’s life forever with one single step.

You can now be part of that life experience by becoming an exclusive ambassador club of the “Sponsor an Orphanage” program.

Orphaned children are most vulnerable. They need your help the most. They are small children as young as one year old and sometimes even younger than one, who have lost one or both parents. These youths hope that their lives will be better one day. You can be part of the special club to bring life-impacting differences!

Orphan children need heroes, champions, someone who will regularly help them, support them, and love them in a way they can. Regular contribution of little as US$1 a day brings these orphans constant hope that their lives will be better and successful one day.

Mary K. Yap Foundation organizes the “Sponsor an Orphanage” program in which your sponsorship funds can either be singled out to support an individual orphan child or allocate it into a general fund that supports specific empowerment programs for an orphanage. Once signed up, our team will share orphans’ life stories profile to those who enroll in the “Sponsor an Orphanage” program. In addition, you will be updated on the progress made at the end of the year by directly receiving a letter from the orphaned child or from the headmaster of orphanage who received your donation support.

Sponsoring and building a relationship with an orphanage brings satisfaction, real hope, and a life-affirming experience. It gives the orphaned children life-changing basics like food, clean water, healthcare, and education. These orphaned children need a hero and someone to lean on.

Be that person to bring that change forever.

#TeddyBear4Hug

Mary K. Yap Foundation believes that every child should be shared with love, care, and proper guidance, especially the vulnerable orphans. Mary K. Yap Foundation introduced an annual program which aims the Myanmar orphans to feel loved and secure through “One Stuff Animal Project.” The program initially started in 2015 and recently renamed as “TeddyBear4Hug” has been a continuous activity every year.

The program aims to give the orphans one stuff toy each for them to have something to hold at night. With this program, we let the orphans believe and know that there are people who loves them and will support them. Empowering these orphans through a single act can mean a huge thing. You, too, can make an orphan believe in a hopeful future ahead of them.

It is a great pleasure when you contribute something to somebody when they need it the most. Mary K. Yap Foundation has been supporting orphans across Myanmar for over 20 years. Out of many other programs, Mary K. Yap started with the One-stuff-animal project which fosters positive connection and social development for the undermined children who need the most attention.

The primary objective is for the orphans to feel not alone and reinforce that they have something in their hands to hold anytime they feel vulnerable as they have no parents to hug. Please join the Mary K. Yap Foundation to continue promoting a TeddyBear4Hug campaign to extend unlimited hugs at night.

Food and Health For Orphans

There is no better feeling than bringing hope to someone’s life, especially in the life of an orphan. These children are the most vulnerable people in the world. They are the persons without parents and guardians who can take care of them and feed them properly.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, has a fifty-three million population. Considering the country’s current political transition, Myanmar needs tremendous help in health care. A greater population, especially children, needs regular consultation and boosts shots that have not yet been readily available.

Orphaned children depend on the orphanage and the staff to take care of them. However, supplies from the orphanages and other donations are insufficient for all the orphans and staff. They need more assistance and supplies for it to be adequate to accommodate all the children.

Mary K. Yap Foundation organizes a food supply donation to every orphanage in Myanmar. This program focuses on helping the orphanages have sufficient rice and food to feed the orphans and the orphanage staff. Mary K. Yap Foundation is donating monthly to orphanages like Galilee Orphanage. The foundation sends out bags of rice and other food supplies and helps the orphanages feed the orphans proper and nutritious food. The foundation will also focus on the orphan’s health and well-being, including annual health check-ups and vaccination plans with our medica professional partners.

With this Food and Health Development Plan in collaboration with our corporate partners, Mary K. Yap Foundation hopes that a vast number of orphans will be fed properly and will help lessen the number of malnourished children. We strive for the children to grow well and remain healthy to prosper as young responsible and become independent citizens of their country.

Lending a Hand

The “Lending a Hand” program is about making a difference for inspired young adults, university students, and citizens from all corners of the world to participate in the life-enriching volunteer opportunities sponsored and organized by the Mary K. Yap Foundation.

The program brings enthusiastic volunteers on short-term 3 to 6 months assignments. The selected volunteer will work with our Management and Ambassadors to conduct and implement innovative development programs for the orphanage communities throughout Myanmar. Among other uplifting engagements, our team of volunteers worked to develop a plan for nutrition, diet, agricultural techniques, livestock growing, and water treatment to promote sustainability for orphan organizations. The team will be assigned to orphanages throughout Myanmar for a fixed period according to our project requirements. In addition, there will be many engaging field activities that include educational and health development programs for helping and inspiring underserved youths.

The mission of the Mary K. Yap Foundation and our volunteers is to develop and build these orphanages so that they have the necessary tools to support the needs of vulnerable children. We collaborate with exceptional individuals with a profound sense of social responsibility who are passionate about volunteering to empower children. Volunteers will gain a sense of pride by engaging with and advancing children who rely heavily on these orphaned centers for their day-to-day needs. Every minute of your time with us supports the everyday needs of neglected orphan communities in Myanmar.

At the end of their assignment, the participating volunteers will receive a special award of gratitude from the Mary K. Yap Foundation as a token of appreciation for bringing that extra care to orphans.

In addition, the Foundation will honor these exceptional individuals at one of our fundraising dinner events as a recipient of the Mary K. Yap Foundation’s global citizen award for their generous efforts.

Sharing our hearts

The Orphanage Ambassador Program is all about making a difference by supporting the worldwide orphan community, empowering them, and bringing a positive difference in every possible way we can.

Everyone can make a difference by contributing their time and supporting vulnerable orphaned children.

Some may think such children have little hope of becoming independent or reliable citizens. However, after spending time with them, we realize how positive and supportive interactions influence them and how these quality contacts bring so much value to these disadvantaged youth.

“Orphanage Ambassadors” hold the highest responsibility for the advancement of orphans at the Mary K. Yap Foundation. An orphanage ambassador acts as a representative and a promoter of the Mary K. Yap Foundation. In addition, they commit some of their time to helping and empowering orphans by directly assisting in the orphanages. In this way, they hope orphans prosper and grow like ordinary children raised with love and care.

This program requires the ambassador to appear at least 3 Foundation-sponsored charity events per year whenever and wherever possible. Orphanage Ambassadors engage with the public and the orphans & orphanages to form closer bonds between them. They should also be someone the children can rely on and trust in their learning development. In addition, when our ambassadors visit orphanages to entertain the children, give empowerment talks, and strengthen the children by feeling guarded and protected, the children are bestowed with the confidence to plan and achieve their life goals.

Window of Opportunities

Mary K. Yap Foundation believes that language is the primary source of communication. Therefore, learning the English language opens the door to many opportunities as this is the Universal language used by many.

part of the Mary K. Yap Foundation’s ongoing efforts to transform the lives of orphaned children, we organize a year-run program that offers a “Basic English for You” program. We supply financial assistance to Myanmar orphaned children ages 10 – 16 to study English at a young age. This program aims to teach children as young as 10 to learn the English language basics and become exposed to using and understanding the language.

The “Basic English for You” is a 3-month class in which selected children will have an opportunity to have basic “English Lessons” to learn and hopefully progress and reach the goal of the intermediate level at the end of each program. Mary K. Yap Foundation’s goal is for all the orphans of Myanmar to learn and utilize the English language proficiently to improve their lives. Furthermore, this program aims to teach orphaned children English in the comfort of their orphanages.

The Foundation believes learning English will open the door to many opportunities. For example, it can be beneficial for passing university college exams and having access to many job opportunities for these young children.

High School Diploma

Together with our educational partners, the Mary K. Yap Foundation organized a High School Diploma program that delivers innovative opportunities to every orphaned student from Grade 8 (age 14) to Grade 10 (age 16).

This program commits to supporting financial assistance to academically inspired orphaned children. In addition, it aims to bring the best attention to those talented orphans going through their last three years of high school curriculum studies in Myanmar.

The High School Diploma extends children proper guidance, training, and after-school tuition classes, molding them into better individuals. The increased accessibility to educational support will provide the opportunity to advance academically and socially during the last three high school years (Grades 8 to 10). This extra attention will accelerate the requirements needed to keep up with their studies so that they have higher chances of graduating from High School

Grade 10th is the key to opening every opportunity. Mary K. Yap Foundation takes care of all educational support so that the children can concentrate on their studies, pass the exam and be ready to face the university.

The success of the “High School Diploma” program will depend on the close partnership between the participating orphanage, the selected orphan students, and the Foundation team. Regular progress reports to keep track of the student’s performances are also available for those participating sponsors and donors who would like to monitor the success.

Please email us at info@marykyapfoundation.org if you would like to recommend an orphanage or an orphan student who can benefit from the High School Diploma Program.
