Current situation in Myanmar/
Our security arrangements
The February 1st 2021 coup in Myanmar has changed most aspects of life and has greatly limited access to vital services such as education and health care. This new environment is estimated to put over 50% of the entire population at risk of descending into poverty.
SANNI Foundation is committed to all our projects and will continue supporting the extremely vulnerable and impoverished. We would like to assure a few important points about our future activities in Myanmar:
SANNI Foundation has no connection to the military or its legislative branch. SANNI has secure methods of international and domestic financial transfer to ensure the continuation of projects. We use an internationally accepted list of businesses to not purchase from and to avoid any contact or transaction with military-affiliated groups. In addition, all projects are audited to ensure the safety of staff and benefactors.
