Cyclone Nargis caused the caused the worst natural disaster in the recorded history of Myanmar.
The tempest took over 130,000 lives and has left more than 2 million people in need of humanitarian aid, contaminating water sources, obliterating schools and the Myanmar children are suffering from acute malnutrition.
The wreckage caused by Cyclone Nargis in May 2008 is still apparent even after three months in many parts of Myanmar, with flooded farmland and considerably damaged infrastructure.
Mr. Abid Junaid, Executive Director, ETA Star, said:
"The scale of the tragedy caused by Cyclone Nargis is hard to fathom. The rehabilitation process is on and it would take months or years for it to come back to normalcy. Myanmar has been one of the major producers of rice in the world but today the staple diet of its people is hardly available for them. As a part of our CSR program for the homeless, we decided to partner with the World Concern to deliver rice grains to the cyclone-hit regions of the country. We hope our efforts will bring some relief amongst the needy in Myanmar."
