Our projects in Myanmar (Burma)

The Church in Myanmar is presented with many challenges. You can help. Support for these projects can provide farmers Myanmar (Burma) with rice winnowing (threshing) machines; giving small capital to start duck-raising and small fish ponds to raise extra income; engine-repair training for villagers whose main economic activity is river-based and simple water and sanitation systems to ease the burden of fetching water from miles away.

ABM is funding the following projects in Myanmar:
– Water and Sanitation
– Youth Skills Training
– Institutional Strengthening including Teacher Training
– Food Security
– English Language Tuition

St Paul’s has chosen to donate for water and sanitation.

St Margaret's Hospital, PNG

Many patients in and around Oro Bay die from preventable or curable conditions. The most common ones presented at St Margaret’s Health Centre are neonatal sepsis (a blood infection in newborns caused by bacteria), malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, broken limbs and machete injuries.

There is still a lot of work needed to improve St Margaret’s existing buildings and medical facilities. The aim is to upgrade the Centre from a rural health clinic into a fully functioning hospital. Proper medical equipment will enable staff to provide more than just basic medical care.
