Children in Need

Where do our missions take place?
Our Team chose the Sitagu Ayudana Hospital in Sagaing Hills, Myanmar, it is located near Mandalay. The small medical center is run by resident monks, because it integrated in a Buddhist monastic complex.

Who are the patients?
Children are our most important patients! There is a widespread occurrence of cleft lip and palate (harelip) in Myanmar. Only a few of the cases can be treated surgically, because there is a lack of medical supply in the hospitals, even in the whole country. Children with the untreated malformation are subjected to social disadvantage, they are often avoided and marginalised by the community. Moreover, there are multiple cases of malnutrition, wrong positioned teeth, a delayed language development and chronic infection of the throat-, mouth and nose area.

How can You support Us?
The medical stock and medication, which is needed to properly treat the children is worth about 500€. Joining a new mission in Myanmar, the participating doctors have to take leave for some time and close their offices. Thus they are able to help about 70-100 children per year. So to continue their work, the MIT depends on pecuniary donations. Because of the enormous commitment of the association’s members, costs are being kept on a low level. The doctors themselves provide spatial and personnel necessities for planning upcoming missions for free, so there are no further expenses regarding space rent and payment of administrative staff. We proudly assure you, that your donations will reach their destination in Myanmar and we are thankful for your trust in our association.

Our vision
It’s important to involve the local doctors and nursing staff in the medical work, so they are able to perform surgery and provide the necessary medical aftercare, as soon as the MIT departs. That is the best way to sustainably strengthen the populations’ health care, especially in rural regions.

Thanks to the numerous donations, the MIT was able to help more than 680 patients in the past few years. Children do need the positive impact of surgical and dental treatment in particular. By donating, you can help, too!
