After a powerful earthquake hit Upper Myanmar on March 28, 2025, U9Cares immediately set up mobile charging stations across affected areas in Mandalay to provide electricity to charge mobile phones and other essential lighting devices amid power supply interruptions. Each station not only supply electricity but also offer high-speed internet access through Wi-Fi hotspots to help communities stay connected with their loved ones.
U9Cares’ mobile charging stations were deployed in key areas and temporary camps across Mandalay, including: Amarapura District Administration Office Camp, Aung Myay Mandalar Stadium, Aung Thu Kha Monastery, Shwe Gwan Htoke Mosque in Mahar Aung Myay Township, B.E.H.S (17) Camp, Bhoe Kone in Amarapura Township, Bhone Aoe, Chan Mya Tharzi Old Airport, Kyi Myin Taing (East) , Kyi Myin Taing (West) , Kutotaw Pagoda Camp, Oo Yin Lay, Oo Yin, Sein Pan Fire Camp in Mahar Aung Myay Township, Singar, Takgyi , Than Lheyt Maow Camp, Thamin Chan (South) in Madaya Township, Thamin Chan (South), Thar Li Swa, Thazin Wa, Thudamar Pavilion in Aung Myay TharzanTownship, Utopia Compound, Utopia Mosque, Yelone Kyaw.
During the operation of mobile charging stations, U9Cares team realized that some of the displaced camps still lacked electricity and extended the helping hand by running mobile charging stations at night, at some displaced camps to provide lighting, together with Wi-Fi hotspots. This initiative especially helps those who return from work to be able to charge their mobile phones and lighting devices at night, while connecting with their loved ones utilizing Wi-Fi hotspots. The areas covered by night lighting include: Hainn Ywat Su in Patheingyi Township, Hmike Su (North) in Amarapura Township, Hmike Su (South) in AmarapuraTownship, Kan in Chan Mya Tharzi Township, Kay Thon, Than Lheyt Maow Camp in Mahar Aung Myay Township.
Since the launch of the program in April 2025, the initiative has positively impacted more than 300,000 people each month.
Right after the earthquake, a lot of people were displaced from their homes, lost their ways of lives and some unfortunately got injured.
In response to these urgent needs, U9Cares in collaboration with the Myanmar Medical Association (Upper Myanmar) is supporting the deployment of mobile clinics across 55 earthquake-affected locations in Mandalay. These clinics are vital in rapidly diagnosing injuries or illnesses, administering first aid and trauma care, and offering psychological support to help communities recover. Together, U9Cares provided critical medical care to over 100 patients daily, while also delivering much-needed psychological first aid to those affected by the earthquake.
This purpose-driven collaboration allowed U9Cares to extend it’s reach, combine resources, and offer more comprehensive support to communities in need.
In partnership with CHEMEMAN PLC, U9Cares successfully delivered food to families deeply affected by the earthquake in Mandalay, Naypyitaw and Sagaing.
Through this initiative, 1,000 cartons, equivalent to 180,000 packets of instant noodles were distributed, providing immediate relief to communities in the aftermath of the disaster.
The distribution in Mandalay covered 14 locations, prioritizing the hardest-hit households in temporary shelters and displacement sites.
U9Cares and CHEMEMAN PLC’s collaboration supported beyond differentiation and standing in solidarity with communities toward recovery.
U9Cares is proud to partner with the KBZ Foundation in its ongoing efforts to support the KBZ Center in Mandalay, which now serves as a hub for healthcare and community support in Upper Myanmar.
U9Cares is providing reliable, high-speed Dedicated Internet Access (100 Mbps) and complete communications infrastructure to the 16-acre KBZ Center supporting its seamless daily operations.
Additionally, in partnership with klink.cloud, U9Cares has delivered a complete cloud-based contact center to support the launch of the healthcare call center. This service enables the center to operate 24/7, allowing patients to contact the center and receive free medical consultations on-site.
Together, U9Cares and the KBZ Foundation are working hand in hand to rebuild stronger, more connected communities and support long-term recovery.
U9Cares has donated essential medicines to support its mobile clinic initiative in collaboration with the Myanmar Medical Association (Upper Myanmar). This contribution further reinforces U9Cares’ commitment to expanding access to health services in the communities that need them most.
