Project KARE

The Burma Army govt. continues to bomb schools and civilian villages in Karen State / Kaw Thoo Lei. The war crimes by the Burma Army junta govt. continue.

School supplies delivered to Brigade 6 in Kaw Thoo Lei / Karen State in Burma / Myanmar. Thank you to Gen. Nerdah Bomya for coordinating the purchase of pens, pencils, notebooks, white boards, snacks and sports equipment and for facilitating their delivery to small rural schools. We're deeply grateful to our donors who empower Project KARE with their generous gifts to provide needed basic tools for education.

Thank you to our amazing Project KARE donors who make it possible every year to deliver school supplies to underserved Karen communities in Kaw Thoo Lei / Karen State in Myanmar / Burma.

Persecution of the Karen people continues in Burma / Myanmar in more extreme and inhumane ways, yet exposure in international news is rare.

Mass killing by the Burmese military. On 7th March, 30 civilians including 14 children were killed by the Burmese military attacks in Kler Lwee Htu, Kawthoolei.

Another 160 villagers have been illegally detained and used as human shields.

This is war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Burmese military is repeatedly breaking international laws.

Urgent international action is needed to cut sources of jet fuel and money reaching the Burmese military.

Urgent UK action is needed. The UK has not sanctioned jet fuel exports to Burma, as Canada has. It has not sanctioned Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise, as the EU has. It has not sanctioned the military-owned mobile phone company Mytel, as the USA has. It has not sanctioned Myanma Foreign Trade Bank and Myanma Investment and Commercial Bank, as Australia has.

We’ve continued to support Karen students each year since 2013. We respond directly to the needs of the students we serve. We rely on education leaders in Karen State to determine which supplies are most critical to support educational goals. With your donations, we’ll be funding the purchase of student notebooks, pens, pencils, copy paper and sports equipment for thousands of students in dozens of schools. These supples, while they might seem very basic, are out of reach for many families in Karen State. Your donations make it possible for many of the students to simply attend school.

If you would like to make a donation to buy school supplies you could donate via our PayPal or Venmo accounts or contact us directly if you prefer to send a check. The links are on our website - https://projectkare.org/donate/blog If you prefer, you could hand deliver your gift to Project KARE in person to co-founders Su Baw, Michaely Rosas or Ron Levis.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions, any time. We’re deeply grateful for all you have done for the Karen people!
