For Democracy

Mutual Aid Myanmar

The People of Myanmar Are Rising up for Democracy

Students, civil servants, nurses, and others are putting their lives on the line to resist tyranny. In order to sustain the movement, they need lost-income support for food, healthcare and housing.

Mutual Aid Myanmar has successfully distributed

$921,423

To 17,702 CDM participants in Myanmar.

Mutual Aid Myanmar (MAM) is a collection of activists, academics, and policy makers working to support the democracy movement in Myanmar.

Our deep connections in the country allow us to distribute funds efficiently and target activists with the most need and greatest impact.


Every cent that you donate goes directly to supporting the people of Myanmar.

We work with partners throughout the country to ensure that all people have access to support. Partners have been thoroughly vetted by our Board of Directors and are well-enmeshed in local civil society networks. They distribute funds to those in need in their community.

In order to protect our distribution partners in Myanmar we are unable to name our partners publicly.
