Our campaign to support the urgent need for clean water
Operation Love Myanmar (OLM) is an initiative of Relief Singapore, dedicated to addressing the humanitarian crisis brought about by ongoing civil conflict and natural disasters like Typhoon Yagi. By working closely with partners such as the Center for Sustainable Humanitarian Action with Displaced Ethnic Communities (SHADE), OLM ensures that aid reaches even the most remote and hard-hit communities in Myanmar.
Relief Singapore and Wateroam are raising funds to provide essential ROAMfilters water filtration systems to civilians affected by the floods. These efforts are part of a larger relief campaign coordinated by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Changi Regional Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Coordination Centre (Changi RHCC). |

The Humanitarian Crisis in MyanmarTyphoon Yagi has caused widespread destruction across Southeast Asia, particularly affecting Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. The aftermath of this disaster has left thousands of families displaced and without access to clean water.

An estimated 1 million people in Myanmar are affected by flooding from heavy monsoon rains and Typhoon Yagi
More than 360 people have reportedly drowned, with at least 100 more missing due to the severe flooding. The floods have caused widespread devastation, submerging thousands of crops, farmlands, and livestock, leading to substantial losses in the livelihoods of affected communities.
Our Impact So Far
We have delivered vital aid to over 200,000 individuals, providing emergency shelters, medical supplies, clean water and food. Through partnerships with local communities, government agencies and international organizations, we’ve been able to respond rapidly to emergencies, delivering hope and relief to those in desperate need.
We have mobilized the first round of goods, but there is still so much more to be done.
Sponsor a ROAMfilter to Myanmar
In response, Relief Singapore is urgently appealing for donations to provide ROAMfilter Plus filtration systems to civilians in Vietnam who are struggling to find safe water for drinking, cooking, and daily use. Floodwaters have contaminated water sources, making it unsafe for consumption.
The ROAMfilter Plus from Wateroam is an affordable and highly effective solution capable of producing clean water for affected communities. Your donations will directly fund these water filters, offering an immediate and life-saving resource for those in need. |

We have recently launched our very own household water purifier, the Homefilter Faucet. This ergonomic water filter is designed for your family and takes just 5 minutes to install. It filters out bacteria and harmful particulates, allowing you to enjoy clean water straight from your tap.
Each Homefilter replaces the need for more than a thousand disposable bottles, helping you enjoy clean and tasty water while saving the earth. For every Homefilter Faucet purchased, a portion of the profits will go directly into supporting marginalized communities with clean water. Getting clean water doesn’t need to be a hassle — you can save lives while doing it too. |
Clean water for a bright futureClean water enables individuals to strive for their dreams without worrying about the basic necessity of water. Clean water is a basic human right, hence, we decided to align ourselves with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of providing clean water and sanitation to all. |
Together, we can build a world without prolonged thirst
We believe that when we come together, we can truly make a positive global impact. Every contribution takes us another step closer towards a world with clean water for all.
