Situation in Myanmar and News from May
The Women's Letter - April 2025
The situation in Myanmar
Thank you all for your solidarity with the earthquake in Myanmar. We have raised 3,000 euros to date . The situation remains serious, and rebuilding homes in the affected areas will take a long time.
The immediate money helped several distressed families regain some semblance of stability. David was able to shelter his family in temporary housing, away from Mandalay's regular tremors, which traumatize children. Teresa was able to stabilize her home, repair her toilet, and stockpile essential supplies. Christina , with a newborn, ensured her home was fed and safe. Rose not only secured her home but also distributed 150 meals to her neighbors.
Your support has had a profound and immediate impact. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts—and we encourage you to keep giving. Every little helps. Together, we can continue to provide relief to families.

Upcoming Events in May
We look forward to seeing you in Paris on May 14 and 17 to give you the latest information on the situation in Myanmar and also to show you around
- new projects in Southeast Asia and France
- the new Spring/Summer 2025 collection (with the first creations from NoeNoe's eco-print project and the release of new dress and trouser models)
On May 14, you'll also discover the paintings of Maguelonne Simonnet, a young woman who visited our projects and weavers in Vietnam. She returned with many photos and sketches that she transforms into paintings by incorporating scraps of fabric from their creations. You can admire and purchase paintings and thus support new projects.
