#During his visit, Dr. Kouyoumji took time to personally connect with the children—sharing stories, asking questions, and listening intently to their hopes and struggles. His engagement wasn’t passive; he observed the living conditions closely and paid particular attention to two critical needs: access to clean drinking water and mental wellness support for the children and staff. These observations have directly fueled new energy behind our upcoming #H20Hope Clean Water Campaign in 2025, which will aim to bring lasting, life-saving solutions to the communities we serve. Dr. Kouyoumji’s empathetic approach left a powerful impression, reinforcing the idea that leadership grounded in humanity creates lasting change.

#A major strength of the #FirstSeed campaign is its deep collaboration with local experts and community members. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the Foundation works with agricultural professionals and volunteers who understand the unique soil conditions, climate, and cultural practices of each region. This tailored guidance ensures that each orphanage receives exactly what it needs to succeed. Moreover, training is not limited to children; staff and caretakers also receive coaching, creating a shared environment of learning and growth. This strengthens the internal system of each orphanage, reducing dependency on external food supplies. By involving the surrounding community, the campaign fosters connections and collective ownership, turning each garden into a hub of support that can thrive beyond the Foundation’s direct involvement.

With H20Hope, we are doing far more than quenching thirst—we are nurturing futures. Each drop we deliver echoes with the promise of health, opportunity, and a life free from preventable hardship. Together, we can build a world where every orphaned child in Myanmar, and beyond, wakes up with fresh water, renewed hope, and a future filled with endless possibilities.

#The itinerary was meticulously planned, featuring strategic meetings with stakeholders such as Legendary Myanmar Academy Winner Actress Grace Swe Zin Htaik, the Unit Director for the Charity Film, the Foundation’s Executive Director, Peter K Yap, and the Program Manager, Meme Lwin to discuss upcoming festival participation in the USA and Europe, and what is needed to amplify the film’s charitable impact further. Other discussions were held in parallel about the prospects of establishing the first union association, the Myanmar Orphan Association (MOA), to unite all the supporters, NGOs, and INGOs under one umbrella to bring awareness to the needs of vulnerable children and communities living under orphanage care.

We proudly champion initiatives like #NourishHope and #TeddyBear4Hold, two campaigns designed to meet children’s emotional and physical needs. Through these efforts, we ensure that children feel loved, supported, and consistently nourished with healthy meals. By nurturing the body and the spirit, we foster a more profound sense of security, emotional well-being, and belonging for those who need it most. Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we are excited to launch a new wave of campaigns that continue to expand our support system. New initiatives include #H20Hope, which aims to provide access to clean drinking water; #FirstSeed, introducing sustainable gardens in orphanages; and #LifeLine, which is focused on increasing access to basic vaccinations. In addition, we are proud to introduce #OrphanRelief, a vital campaign dedicated to supporting orphanages during emergencies caused by natural disasters and other crises. By responding swiftly during hardship through our web of active volunteer networks, #OrphanRelief will help protect children’s safety and ensure their essential needs are met when they are most vulnerable.
