Act for Peace in Burma / Myanmar

Act for Peace supports a range of partners in Burma / Myanmar and on its borders. We are a member of the Thailand Burma Border Consortium, which provides food, shelter and other assistance for 146,000 refugees in camps along the Thai Burma border.

Act for Peace also supports community-based organisations in the conflict zones in eastern Burma / Myanmar providing humanitarian assistance to internally displaced people, who no other aid agencies can reach. This assistance includes food aid and mine action to prevent further incidents and assist victims. One part of the mine action program is a prosthetic clinic in Karen State, where mine-survivors have constructed the building and run the clinic on a volunteer basis. Last year, 8,513 people in villages were educated about the risks of landmines through this program.
