Candle Library is a non-formal education program - operate libraries, enhance the habit of reading and improve knowledge and thinking skills of youths.

In 2011 the civil war between the central government and the Kachin Independence Army has started again. Due to the fighting more than 100,000 villagers had to leave their houses and became so called “Internally Displaced People”. Since more than three years they have to live in camps far away from their homes. The ones who suffer most are the children who have no access to any form of education.
