What your support makes possible – in Myanmar and India

Categories: News, Newsletter

Dear friends of the SANNI Foundation

Every donation is more than just a number: it changes lives. It enables a child to go to school, provides medical care, and helps a young person gain confidence through education.

In our projects in Myanmar and India, we see again and again how targeted support can transform lives – sometimes quietly and step by step, sometimes very directly. Today, we would like to share three stories that show what your help makes possible.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your loyalty, your trust and your valuable support. You make these changes possible.

With warm regards,

Susanne Schroff

Back to school: Zan Min Maung

Zan Min Maung lives with his family in a slum area in Yangon, Myanmar. When he was accepted into the child sponsorship programme, he did not yet have a birth certificate – an essential document in order to attend school. With the support of our team, this document was obtained.

Later, the family faced a severe crisis: their simple home collapsed, and for a time they lived under a bridge. Zan Min Maung’s medical treatment and schooling were also at risk. Thanks to SANNI’s support, the family now has a home again, and Zan Min Maung is preparing to return to school in the 2026 school year.

Education as a door opener: Kapil

Kapil Kumar Arya is 19 years old and lives with his two sisters in Gurugram, India. His parents passed away when he was still young. Before joining a computer course at the Community Development Project in Chakkarpur, he had very little experience with computers. Kapil learned quickly, showed great determination and did not miss a single day of training.

The course changed his path: Kapil was accepted into a three-year college programme in Commerce. For him, this means not only education, but also confidence and the chance to one day support his sisters.

From a difficult start to a hopeful future

Phoo Pwint San is 11 years old and lives with her family in one of Yangon’s largest slum areas. Due to the family’s difficult financial situation, she was at risk of having to drop out of school.

Since 2023, she has been supported through a SANNI sponsorship. This allows her to continue attending school, ensures that her basic needs are met, and has helped her family gain more stability. Today, Phoo Pwint San is doing very well at school and even won first prize in a painting and drawing competition in 2025.

Her story shows how sponsorship can bring hope, security and a future.

Small support, great impact

These stories show what SANNI is all about: not short-term aid, but real perspectives for the future. Education, medical care, personal guidance and support for entire families create the foundation for a more dignified and independent life.
