About Us

Aung Zayer Min Monastery is not only a place for monks and nuns to practice their religion, but also a caring place for orphans and an education center for children living in Hlaing Tharyar Township in Yangon, Myanmar.

The monastery, ruled by venerable monk A Shin Badanta Zayar Nanda, has been providing foods, shelter and education to orphans and children for more than 6 years. The monastic school is currently providing education to 1150 students who are unable to afford the public school system.

Mission: 

Our mission is to help orphaned or abandoned children grow into solid citizens of the country through a sound structure, to provide education to children who are unable to afford to attend public schools and to provide free health care services to children who are in need.

All children in the care of Aung Zayer Min must be given the same love and security that each of our team members would give to their own children.

Funding:

Aung Zayer Min is an entirely independent organization which does not receive any funding from government. It relies on contributions from individual donors and non-government organizations. As it is not easy to cover its expenses without regular donors, Aung Zayer Min is in need of foods,educational related materials, clothes and money for these less fortunate children. Any penny from you is a great support to our activities.
