http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/myanmar_52233.html

NGAPUTAW TOWNSHIP, Myanmar, 21 December 2009 In spite of the battle for life and livelihood since the tsunami hit in 2004, daily life continues in remote Phone Daw Pyae in Ngaputaw Township.

The impact left by the tsunami on Myanmar was less severe compared to some other neighbouring countries. Nevertheless, Ngaputaw Township along with Rakhine State parts of the Irrawaddy Division and Tanintharyi Division was hit hard.

UNICEF, along with local and international partners, supported a full range of activities to restore livelihood and transform young lives affected by the tsunami.

Communities received assistance in getting back on their feet with new homes for affected people, a new school and a new rural health centre. Essential drugs and insecticide treated bed nets were also supplied.
