Despite the destruction, people in Myanmar knew what to do when their neighbors were hungry after the earthquake: COOK! WCK teams in Myanmar have empowered many community kitchens, some of which are as simple as a large single pot of food. Communities have been cooking since the earthquake struck. In addition to distributing hot meals and family food kits, we are also supporting these kitchens with ingredients and other supplies.

WCK is distributing thousands of family cooking kits in Myanmar. Each kit can support a family for up to a week, with ingredients for more than 50 meals.

Family Meal Kits

Help us keep cooking for families in Myanmar.

In late March 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Southeast Asia, causing widespread destruction in Myanmar. A 6.4 magnitude aftershock caused additional damage. WCK is on the ground in Myanmar, supporting affected families.

We are working with local restaurants and cooks to serve thousands of hot meals each day. In addition, we are also providing family meal kits to help fill the gap. We are collaborating with partners to expand efforts across impacted areas.

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Myanmar, where a magnitude 7.7 earthquake created widespread devastation, with many homes severely damaged and families unable to cook. Our team is working with local restaurants and chefs to serve nourishing meals to impacted communities.
