For decades, civil unrest and government violence have caused a public health nightmare for ethnic minorities in Myanmar. Lack of access to basic health services has increased infant and maternal deaths.
Burma Humanitarian Mission is fighting this crisis by training and equipping rural health workers. Support from BGR allows the mission to train and supply 114 medical teams, who travel through rural areas in eastern Myanmar giving medical and nutritional aid to residents. Their efforts reach more than 38,000 people. The group also runs schools for the medics’ families in refugee camps in Thailand, guaranteeing that the 55 children have balanced meals and a safe education.
This project is co-sponsored by BGR’s European sister organization, Mitgefühl in Aktion (MiA).
