Burma Issues

Children in Burma
Burma Issues is a non-profit organisation, made up of young ethnic people from Eastern Burma who now dedicate their lives to educating and empowering the grassroots communities in Eastern Burma, documenting human rights abuses and acting as a bridge between the grassroots communities and the international community.

Our work includes
• Grassroots empowerment: educating and empowering communities in Burma's civil war zones. Providing education to both adults and children in concepts of civil participation, leadership, critical thinking, and cultural pride
• Information for action: documenting the human rights abuses through interviews, videos and photography
• Campaigns for peace: raising awareness amongst the international community about the situation
