As part of efforts to support the search for people missing across Myanmar following the earthquake, a group of Myanmar youths have come together to create a rescue website called KelSelYay (kelselyay.com). The website allows users to submit details about missing persons, including their photo, name, the location where they were last in contact, the time they went missing, and a phone number to reach if they are found. While people have also been searching for missing persons through social media platforms like Facebook, posts on social media don’t always reach those who can actually help, and the information can be difficult to search through.

The newly created KelSelYay website brings together reports of missing persons in one place, making it a useful resource for everyone. Since the website also includes a map, information about missing people from across Myanmar can be added to it, and anyone can browse the listed details and help out.
