Every minute in Myanmar, youth and civilians live in fear of violence and unjust arrest. Over 2 million people have been displaced from their homes due to military attacks over the last 2 years. As the crisis continues to deepen globally, your gift will allow us to expand critical humanitarian assistance efforts focused in these two key areas below.

1)Food, Water, Medicine - 60% of funds

Millions have been displaced from their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. Displayed people live in a nearby forest. We provide basic aid like food, clean water, warm blankets and critical medical supplies so vulnerable families can begin rebuilding their lives.

2)Shelter and Emergency Health Relief Aid - 40% of funds 

In times of crisis, we help support in building temporary shelters, water stations, distribute hygiene/dignity menstrual kits with essentials like soap, and sanitary products, and supply emergency items like flashlights, radios, fuel and more to help displaced persons and refugees meet their most urgent needs for safety and survival and to prevent outbreaks of diseases.

Thank you for supporting our humanitarian efforts.

COMING SOON!! We are excited to announce that our art therapy project will be launching soon! Our dedicated team of artists is currently working on preparing for the sessions. We will be sharing the start date as soon as it is finalized. We are thrilled to announce that our volunteers (artists, teachers, facilitators, and ground volunteers) will be participating in a three-day Psychological First Aid (PFA) training program virtually via Zoom on October 26, 27, and 29, 2023. This training, generously provided by UNICEF, will equip our volunteers including artists, facilitators with the skills and knowledge they need to provide support to individuals affected by trauma or crisis. We believe that this training will be an invaluable resource for our volunteers as they embark on healing journey through art therapy. If you have any questions, inquiries, or concerns, please submit a ticket or email us at contact@soneyayfoundation.org. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Special Event: In Celebration of International Women Day since March 8, 2023, Sone Yay Foundation works tirelessly to promote female menstrual products be made free and accessible to all women and girls.

Mission: Inspire hope and ignite change for a more just and equitable world. To empower the underserved by providing access to education, resources, and skills needed to create positive change.

We unite diverse groups around the common cause of justice and equality. Through capacity building training, fundraising and grassroots collaborative efforts, we help disadvantaged women, minorities, those who have been unjustly detained, have disabilities, and those living in poverty gain leadership skills, educational opportunities, and hope for a life of purpose.

It is our belief that when we empower the underserved to realize their dreams, we create the next generation of leaders enacting change across education, employment, healthcare, and human rights globally. We fund this critical work through small grants, individual donations, international fundraising, and our network of friends passionate about equity and collective humanity.

Vision: We envision a world where all individuals have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. We champion justice and equality by dismantling barriers and fostering inclusive environments, enabling communities to flourish.

Values in acronym : EPICATS

At Sone Yay Foundation, our EPIC CATS values guide our DEIB efforts to create an inclusive world where all humans can thrive at their full potential.

Empowerment - We build trust, confidence and capacity, centering those left behind.

Partnership - We collaborate globally across differences and perspectives to foster belonging.

Innovation - We challenge old ways and welcome new diverse voices.

Compassion - We lead with empathy, care and shared humanity.

Agility - We embrace change that advances equity.

Transparency - We are open and learn from mistakes. We lead our honest conversations to drive inclusion.

Strength - We value our collective strengths and efforts for making an impact in the communities we serve.

     Our core values of empowerment, partnership, innovation, and compassion guide our diversity, equity, inclusion and belongingness (DEIB) efforts. We aim to create an inclusive world where all people can thrive. We unite and uplift one another by leading with empathy. We advance equity and justice by engaging with global trends, fostering shared learning, and facilitating connection.

We go beyond equality to actively eliminate systemic barriers, correct long-standing disparities, empower marginalized groups, and amplify unheard voices.

We are dedicated to equipping people with the tools and resources needed for success by fostering an environment of growth, optimism, and opportunity.
