Ah Nyar Studies

Ah Nyar Studies is our long-term commitment to researching the Ah Nyar Community and catalysing its intellectual development.

Central Burma Watch

CBW is designed as a locally led initiative that combines field and desk research with evidence-based advocacy to strengthen local governance, ensure civilian protection, and promote accountability. It aims to serve as a robust mechanism for tracking, analysing, and addressing critical issues in Ah Nyar.

Civic Space and Youth Empowerment

CSYE programme provides a space for young people from conflict-affected communities to foster active citizenship and support post-conflict reconstruction. It aims to create an enabling environment for civic participation and youth empowerment.

Crisis Response

Crisis Response is a key component of our emergency response portfolio, developed to address urgent needs following the 2021 military coup. It includes direct cash transfers, emergency healthcare, and other vital humanitarian initiatives.

Day 16 of Earthquake Response by Centre for Ah Nyar Studies

The Ah Nyar team’s earthquake response carries the scent of Ah Nyar itself. We’ve now reached Day 16. Over the past weeks, our team members have been actively supporting affected communities — from assessing immediate needs to coordinating with local groups and distributing emergency relief aid to those most in need. Beyond providing life-saving emergency assistance, we continue working to prevent the public health issues that often follow in the aftermath of earthquakes. Their tireless dedication reminds us of the power of community-led action during times of crisis.

We are deeply grateful to all our friends and supporters — including the generous donors — who have stood by us throughout. This work would not have been possible without the trust of local residents and the courage of our volunteers, who continue to step up in moments of distress.

Let us keep showing up for one another — with empathy, resilience, and purpose.
