The Quilter Foundation has donated £25,000 to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Myanmar Earthquake Appeal to support vital humanitarian aid following the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28th March 2025.
The disaster has caused widespread devastation, killing over 3,700 people, injuring thousands more, and displacing around 200,000 individuals.
Coming on top of an existing humanitarian crisis, the earthquake has left millions without access to safe shelter, clean water, and urgent medical care.
The DEC unites 15 of the UK’s leading aid charities to raise funds quickly and effectively in times of crisis.
Its member charities and local partners are on the ground in Myanmar and neighbouring regions, working to provide emergency assistance including food, water, sanitation, protection, and trauma support.
Every pound donated by the UK public to the DEC appeal will be matched by the UK Government through its Aid Match scheme, up to £5m.
This matching will double the impact of public donations and ensure that those most in need can be reached quickly.
Steven Levin, chief executive officer of Quilter and chair of The Quilter Foundation, said: “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragic earthquake in Myanmar.
“At a time of immense suffering, it is vital for the international community to come together to deliver humanitarian support.
“The Quilter Foundation is proud to contribute to the DEC’s appeal and to help provide immediate relief to those whose lives have been impacted by this disaster.”
Donations can be made directly to the DEC – DEC Myanmar Earthquake Appeal | Disasters Emergency Committee.
