Humanitarian Projects in Myanmar

Sharing Merits comes from a generous spirit, not for the sake of acquiring merit for oneself, but for the benefit of others.

The mission driving Sharing Merits is to help poor and displaced Myanmar children, by supporting health, hygiene and educational projects in schools, villages, and Myanmar Buddhist monasteries and nunneries that help children.

About Myanmar Monasteries and Nunneries

It is important to understand that most of the children who live in Myanmar monasteries and nunneries come from very remote villages where there are few educational opportunities, are parentless or come from families who cannot afford to raise them. David realized that by helping the Monasteries and nunneries to succeed, he was directly helping the children of Myanmar.
