Supporting earthquake relief efforts in Mandalay
Two of our team members from Yoma Fleet, Thura Aung (Senior Manager) and Bhone Mo Kay (Senior Business Development Associate), joined the volunteer relief efforts on the ground in Mandalay following the recent earthquake.
Arriving on April 1st, the team supported over 700 families with essential supplies including food, drinking water, medicine, and clothing. On April 2nd, they continued to Amarapura Township (located about 11 km south of Mandalay city), where they helped more than 550 families across nearby villages.
Access remains a challenge due to road and transport damage, but the need for assistance continues. Urgently needed items include drinking water, food, medicine, clothing, hand sanitiser, solar-powered lights, and masks.
