LGT Group Supports Families Affected by Quakes
On 28 March, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing devastating loss and destruction, and widespread displacement. Thousands have lost their lives, have been injured and still remain missing. This catastrophe strikes communities, which are already dealing with the effects of ongoing armed conflict and widespread violence.

- 120 CHF would provide 1,000 chlorine tables for disinfection of 10,000 liters of water.
- 300 CHF would provide some 107 persons with blankets.
