Recent Earthquake in Myanmar
POST EARTHQUAKE UPDATE
Dear Donors and Supporters,
I am happy to report that in Mandalay and Sagaing, out of 48 Studer Trust school buildings, only 10 have sustained notable damage, and just 3 of these have suffered serious structural defects.
All three of our school buildings currently under construction in the Ayeyarwaddy region - unaffected by the recent earthquake - remain on track for completion in May.
We have received some modest funding to carry out repairs to some of the many damaged schools and this work is in progress. Our Teacher Training Centre building also sustained minor damage, and repairs will commence this month (May).
Due to the earthquake, we have had to cancel our planned summer workshops, however, the three Teacher Training Courses will take place as planned.
With the assistance of a specialist consultant, we are also rolling out a Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Management Training to all "Studer Trust" schools to ensure that school staff are prepared as well as they can be should a natural disaster occur again.
Warm regards,
Kyaw Soe

WHY CHOOSING US
Established in 2002 by founder Mr. Peter Gautschi, Studer Trust has built about 126 schools and other community based projects.
100 % PLEDGE
We respect the spirit in which you have chosen to support us. Therefore 100% of your donation is used for the project for which it was intended.
FOLLOW-UP
We don’t just build schools and hope everything goes well. We work with our community to guarantee their success.
WE ARE A GENUINE TEAM
Founders, trustees, staff, donors, beneficiaries and volunteers. We all work together.
We are a privately funded charity. All expenses, from modest salaries to travel expense, postage stamps to bank charges, are covered by a private endowment fund established for the sole purpose of covering costs. That means that every dollar you donate is used for the project for which it is intended.
Our target is to continue with our existing projects in Myanmar while adding new projects selectively. Apart from constructing schools for children in the under-privileged areas in Myanmar, we maintain a Teachers Training Centre, and offer sponsorships to deserving university as well as Vocational School students
Your time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. There are lots of ways to get involved: sponsoring a child or a school, volunteering, campaigning, fund-raising, becoming an ambassador to let more people know about Studer Trust or making donations.
