The disasters left many families homeless, forced them to seek temporary shelter and made access to food an urgent concern, the release said.
A senior Shwapno official said meeting basic needs during natural calamities was among the greatest challenges.
"At Shwapno, we believe every responsible organisation has a duty to stand beside communities during such difficult times," the official said.
"We hope this initiative will help ease the suffering of affected families and support them as they recover and rebuild their lives."
