January 16, 2017
Ks3 billion was contributed to the peace fund for the National Reconciliation and Peace Centre yesterday by KBZ’s Brighter Future Myanmar (BFM) foundation.

The philanthropic organisation said in its statement that it donated Ks3 billion to the peace process through the fund’s account SF 004048 yesterday as part of its contribution to the peace making process as the Government, the Tatmadaw and the people are making efforts for national reconciliation and peace in the country.
“Internal peace plays a major role in building a new modern nation and we hope that peace will prevail in the country and a modern new nation will emerge soon,” said an official of the foundation, which has spent more than Ks114 billion so far on philanthropic works all over Myanmar.
For people to be able to take part in the peace process, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar national reconciliation and peace centre announced under notification 1/2007 on 10 January that contributions could be donated into bank account SF-004048, Nay Pyi Taw branch, Myanma Economic Bank.
The NRPC, chaired by State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, has also said that those wishing to donate in cash, another account, CF — 003434 — has been opened at the Nay Pyi Taw branch of Myanma Economic Bank.
The BFM imported warm clothes worth more than US$2 million and delivered the items to the people, including IDPs, in areas which are expected to be hit by extremely cold weather due to La Nina.
Last year, BFM established a Ks100 million fund in each of 14 regions and states so that the areas could quickly respond to natural disasters.
