Myanmar Hope Christian Mission
Most Pressing Needs
Village Christmas Meals
There are families living in rural Myanmar who are too poor to afford meat with their meals. “Village Christmas Meals” provides a very tangible blessing each year for many people living in extreme poverty.
Boys’ Dorm Rebuilding Project
The Boys’ Dorm, which also functions as our kitchen, our dining hall, and our garage, is very old. It was the original building which we used when we started Hope Boarding School in 2010.

Our Mission
Our mission is to bring the eternal hope of Jesus Christ to the people of Myanmar by addressing their spiritual, physical, educational, and emotional needs. God has a special place in His heart for the poor, and Jesus’ love compels us to have compassion and to take action.
How We Help
Clean Water
We believe access to safe and clean water is a basic human right. MyHope has installed dozens of new wells and funded many other clean water projects.
Disaster Relief
Natural disasters are no respecters of persons. When disaster strikes a poor country or a poverty-stricken community, the survivors have few available options, and must rely on the help of others to get them safely through.
East/West Garden Farm
A model farm that provides jobs, training, and support for local and regional farmers.
Family Support
The average income for many families in rural Myanmar is less than one dollar per day. MyHope continues to support certain families.
Hope Boarding School
Without an education it is nearly impossible for children to escape the devastating chains of extreme poverty.
Hunger Relief
Since April 2020, the poor have been suffering from lock-downs, quarantines, and the ravages of war. Hunger is rampant.
New Hope Prison Outreach
Mawlaikalay Prison houses over 2,400 inmates. The conditions are harsh, lonely, and unforgiving.
New Pathway Home for Widows
Because of widespread poverty many widows are left abandoned, homeless, and starving.
Village Christmas Meals
“Village Christmas Meals” provides a very tangible blessing each year for many people living in extreme poverty.
Our Work…
Is Authentically Christian
God has a special place in His heart for the poor and Jesus’ love compels us to have compassion and to take action.
We are an independent, non-denominational Christian organization dedicated to serving Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. We do not discriminate against any group in Myanmar who needs help, and we will help anyone and everyone that we can, regardless of their denomination or religion. We do focus our efforts first on helping the Body of Christ, in obedience to Galatians 6:10, which says,
Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith. – Galatians 6:10 CSV

Our Work…
Is Locally Led
While the majority of funding for MyHope comes primarily from the West, our leadership is split equally between East and West. Major decisions regarding new projects, the direction of the ministry, and problem solving are shared by our board and leadership staff on both sides of the globe. However, most decisions regarding the implementation details of most projects is delegated to our leaders and volunteers who are “on the ground.”
We believe that the people we work with know best what their own needs are, and are in a much better position to know how to address those needs. The leadership in the West does not dictate to them what they need, or even how to do their work.
Therefore, MyHope works hard to provide trusted local leaders with the resources and funding they need to get the jobs done, but always with close financial, moral, and spiritual oversight.

Our Work…
Is Community Based
The best way to help a child is to sustainably grow their community. That starts with clean water, food, access to education, all provided with spiritual and emotional support.
Most of our projects involve working with the local community and local churches to meet the needs. Many of our projects involve creating new communities. For instance, at Hope Boarding School, children from all over northwest Myanmar, from many different villages and denominations, live as brothers and sisters in a community where they learn to come together in Christian unity and love while striving to attain a good education.
Our Work…
Is 100% Volunteer
MyHope is 100% volunteer. We strive to keep our overhead as low as possible in order to maximize the impact of your gifts. Every dollar you give goes into the project or fund of your choice and is measurable with full donor visibility.
