Health and Well-being:
- Provide primary and direct health support to the most vulnerable and needy sector of society.

Beneficiaries
The number of project beneficiaries in Myanmar was approximately
20,000; in addition to over 400,000 Rohingya refugees inside the camps
in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. The impact of Theyazin Charity Care interventions was
observed during several field visits, even though many of the projects
are still under implementation. The positive impact is significant due
to the critical needs of the refugees and the special nature of the
financed components. By the end of 2019, this project included 12
sub-projects with a total budget of US$28 million.
