Burma Cyclone Relief Fund


In May 2008, Canada announced it would match the contributions of Canadians to humanitarian organizations responding to Cyclone Nargis that struck Burma on May 2, 2008. To this end, the Government of Canada created the Burma Cyclone Relief Fund. For every dollar generously donated by individual Canadians to eligible Canadian charitable organizations, Canada contributed a dollar to the Burma Cyclone Relief Fund. The Canadian International Development Agency provided effective and accountable financial support to established Canadian and international humanitarian organizations for relief efforts that are benefiting the people in Burma most affected by the cyclone.
