Good Neighbors International began its journey in Myanmar in 2006 as the Mingaladon Children Education Centre in Mingaladon Township, Yangon Region. In 2008, the organization expanded its efforts to include humanitarian aid, partnering with the Myanmar Baptist Churches Union to support the Bogale community affected by Cyclone Nargis. This pivotal experience led to the establishment of the head office in Yangon in 2009.
Since then, Good Neighbors Myanmar has continuously implemented humanitarian assistance and community development programs across 10 project sites nationwide. The organization works closely with over 1,000 community development committee members and 155 volunteers, dedicated to improving the lives of those in targeted areas.
Currently, Good Neighbors International (Myanmar) is striving to support children and communities affected by the national crisis, focusing on improving child protection, education, food security, health, and livelihoods in targeted areas in Myanmar.
