Brahmaso Humanitarian Aid Organisation (Burmese: ဗြဟ္မစိုရ် လူမူ့ကူညီရေးအသင်း; abbreviated BHAO) is a humanitarian aid organisation based on Mandalay, Myanmar. The organisation is Myanmar's oldest free funeral service organisation.[1]

It was founded by Tikkha, the abbot of the Southern Salin Monastery in 1998, initially providing free funeral services.[2] It has since expanded to providing health care services, as well as education and natural disaster relief services.[2]
