Following the military coup in Myanmar, the situation remains very worrying. Fondacio is present in this part of the world with several projects focused on education and social entrepreneurship. To unite with the Burmese people, and particularly the Fondacio Myanmar team, a prayer time is held every Wednesday.
Fondacio Asia & Young Lives invites us to join their weekly prayer for Myanmar every Wednesday at 2:30 a.m. French time.
Here is what Alice TAN from Fondacio Asia tells us:
Please pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Myanmar. Let us continue to send them hope and seek God's protection and grace for them. Please pray for the people and institutions who can do something to help end this oppression. Please share this with your families and friends so they can pray with us.

Fondacio Myanmar was founded in 2005 in Yangon.
It is one of the most dynamic communities of Fondacio in Asia, since 4 projects are currently deployed in this country to meet different social and economic needs.
Young Lives: Young Lives are training centers that welcome disadvantaged young people. The goal is to provide them with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to empower them and give them more opportunities for a better life.
Green Pastures: In a small village near Mandalay, Fondacio created a goat-raising social enterprise that funds the education of village children and provides additional income for goat-raising families.
CLUB (Community Leader Unity Building): This project aims to organize interfaith events in Myanmar to encourage young people of different religions to live in harmony in the country. Each month, they participate in an external action to benefit the most vulnerable in society.
Youn Soné: This company was created in 2019 by Julia, a former Young Lives student, to provide training and employment to disadvantaged young women while promoting traditional know-how. YounSone means "colorful" in the Burmese language and expresses the rich diversity of cultures, religions, ethnicities, and traditions of Myanmar. The products are made from Longyi, the traditional skirt worn by Myanmar women and men. Each Longyi is handwoven with unique patterns and colors. YounSone transforms them into contemporary everyday objects that showcase these traditional motifs. The team believes there is great potential for transforming these ancestral activities. They offer a future to young Burmese women and a sustainable, eco-responsible, and exciting perspective for the rural community. https://www.younsone.com/
As one of Fondacio's motivations is " Today's youth are tomorrow's leaders ", the Fondacio Myanmar team strongly encourages its alumni to participate in these various projects. Thus, all of them are now managed by alumni who are passionate about their development. Share Facebook Twitter Link to source http://fondacio-asia.org/myanmar/
