Open donation
Support the association
The most useful gift for us: it lets us put funds where the need is most urgent at the moment it appears — a school year starting, a repair, an unexpected medical case.
Support us
Everyone has their own way of helping
A one-off gift, a monthly sponsorship, time, skills or your company's backing: all of these count, and all of them show directly on the ground.
Make a donation
Choose the work you want to support
Your gift is allocated in full to the project you name. Payments are collected by HelloAsso, a regulated French platform that charges non-profits no commission on donations.
Boarding house
Nyilay Nyimalay Education Center
Fund the running of the centre that has housed and schooled children from isolated Chin State villages since 2017, now relocated to Yangon because of the war.
Yangon
Nyilay Nyimalay Drop-In Center
Support the day centre bringing out-of-school children from Yangon's poorest districts back to learning.
Health
“One Heart, One Hope”
Fund the diagnosis, operation and follow-up of a child born with a heart defect.
Sponsorship
Standing by one child, month after month
From €30 a month — €10.20 after French tax relief — you cover the schooling, food, housing and healthcare of one specific child.
It is the most powerful form of support we offer, because it is regular and predictable: it lets us commit to a child for their whole school career rather than year by year.
Tax relief
What your donation really costs
Nimalay is recognised in France as an organisation of general interest. A tax receipt covering all your payments is sent to you each year.
| Your donation | Tax reduction (66 %) | Real cost to you |
|---|---|---|
| €30 / month | €19.80 | €10.20 / month |
| €50 / month | €33.00 | €17.00 / month |
| €100 (one-off) | €66.00 | €34.00 |
| €500 (one-off) | €330.00 | €170.00 |
Individuals resident in France: income tax reduction of 66 % of the amount given, up to 20 % of taxable income (article 200 of the French General Tax Code). Donors elsewhere are very welcome, but relief depends on their own country's rules. This information is indicative and is not tax advice.
Give your time
Volunteering and skills
Nimalay is run by volunteers, in France and in Myanmar. Over the years we have worked with the Agence du Service Civique, France Volontaires and La Guilde.
Volunteering from home
Communications, translation, fundraising, events, keeping in touch with sponsors: a great deal can be done remotely, at your own pace.
Field missions
Missions in Myanmar depend closely on local conditions and the situation in the country. Write to us to find out what is possible right now — we answer honestly, including when the answer is “not at the moment”.
Pro bono skills
A website, an accounting document, a translation into English or Burmese, a video edit: a few hours of your profession is sometimes worth more than a cheque.
Companies
Corporate giving
A French company supporting Nimalay receives a corporation tax reduction of 60 % of the amount given, up to €20,000 or 5 ‰ of pre-tax turnover (article 238 bis of the French General Tax Code).
In practice: a €5,000 gift costs your company €2,000, and funds a full year of schooling, meals and healthcare for more than ten children.
We can also build a partnership around a specific project — equipping the boarding house, a village water project, a round of heart operations — with detailed reporting on how it progresses.

Tell people about us
We are a small association and our visibility rests entirely on word of mouth. Sharing a post, mentioning us to the people around you or following our news has a real effect on how many children we can support.
Every gesture counts
And every one of them shows, directly, in a child's life.
