Our work
Sixty years of civil war in Burma has displaced millions of ethnic nationality communities. Poverty levels are among the highest in Asia with many people without access to health or education provision. We fund nine partners inside and outside Burma whose projects are improving livelihoods and health services for displaced people, refugees and other poor communities. We are also supporting the Cyclone Nargis relief effort.
