When Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar on May 2 2008, it left 138,000 people dead or missing, flattened homes, destroyed thousands of farm animals, devastated mile upon mile of rice fields and left 2.4 million people without the basics of food, shelter, schools or healthcare.
In the year since, hundreds of World Vision staff have been hard at work bringing emergency aid to farmers, helping distraught and distressed children overcome their fears, providing food to more than 300,000 survivors and restoring drinking water to villages and communities.
A full recovery will take far more time. World Vision will continue to help 100,000 cyclone survivors reopen their schools, host non-formal education classes, replenish livestock and rehabilitate water and sanitation infrastructure.
