Ahtutu which in the Myanmar language means ‘together’.
This charity works together with and through a local Myanmar NGO (non-governmental organisation) to support all young people in need in South West Myanmar, irrespective of religion or ethnicity. It offers English tutoring and works with a local orphanage, schools and with women in prison supporting them and running a personal hygiene projects.
Mary Durkacz, who lives in Ely, first went to Myanmar (the country known as Burma until 1989) in January 2014 to teach English. She raised more than $1800 for flood relief in September 2016 before deciding to make the charity more formal in March 2017. Having registered with HMRC as a charitable company in January 2018, Ahtutu’s Founder-Trustee worked with a small team to ensure that Ahtutu became UK Registered Charity 1182338 on 5th March 2019.
