Dondaw Village is located adjacent to the newly relocated MYTCL lease, and has been graciously returned farmlands that they had occupied in 2013 from the pre-existing lease upon instruction from the President's Office. The village hugs the boundary of the mine's Sabetaung Waste Dump and during the excessive flooding in August of 2015, the village found much of it's crops destroyed by the muddy waters of both the Yama Stream and the Chindwin River. On the 10th of August, additional donations of rice and cooking oil were supplied to this village in need. Approximately 40,000 USD of additional flood relief has been provided by MYTCL to it's neighbouring villagers.

Words cannot describe the hopelessness that has filled the lives of those within our area of the Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Mine within the Townships of Yimarbin and Salingyi, Saigaing Region. Thousands of villagers, farmers and even those in the interior of the nearby industrial area of Monywa have found their lives literally washed away by the rains of Myanmar.
Monks and Minsters, friends and family turn to anyone who is able to help, and MYTCL has reached out to those searching for comfort in these times when nature shows her most powerful side. MYTCL’s PR Department networked during the days and nights with the community members of the CSD Team, and gathered the information of who was in need, what were the most critical priorities, and how strategic recue would be implemented. Food was key, and immediate funds were allocated by MYTCL Management to assist in the purchase of foodstuffs, quick to eat nourishment, rice and cooking oil to be gathered at places where community cooking could occur above the wastelands of water, and medicines for those injured in their own desperate attempts to save their homes and family.
