About this user

Burma Border Projects (BBP) is dedicated to serving the needs of the Burmese refugees (mainly ethnic Karen and Shan) who reside along the border between Burma and Thailand.
Our primary focus is in the previously neglected area of mental health training and treatment, to address the psychosocial consequences of trauma that are experienced by Burmese refugees, and associated with human rights abuses and dislocation. This is accomplished by working collaboratively with local organizations that support and provide culturally relative assistance to Burmese refugees, migrants and internally displaced people.
An additional focus of BBP will be to "fill in the cracks" by providing funding for smaller projects not normally addressed by larger relief organizations, such as maintenance orphanages, safe houses, and schools.
Through our partnerships, BBP is also involved in programs designed to enhance the economic and social empowerment of refugee women.
