Why Is This Project Needed?
Ongoing armed conflict between Karen forces and the Myanmar military has forced thousands of civilians to flee their homes across Karenland. Many are now living in internally displaced persons (IDP) sites under constant threats, including drone surveillance, mortar attacks, and airstrikes.
These conditions have created a serious humanitarian crisis, leaving communities vulnerable and in urgent need of support.
What Challenges Are IDP Communities Facing?
People living in IDP areas are struggling with:
- Food shortages due to disrupted livelihoods
- Limited access to healthcare and essential medicines
- Unsafe and inadequate shelter
- Interrupted education for children and youth

What Are the Project’s Main Objectives?
This project aims to:
- Provide emergency food, medical supplies, and shelter to displaced communities
- Support access to education through scholarships for IDP students
- Strengthen youth capacity through training in leadership and community support
What Activities Will Be Implemented?
Key activities include:
- Distribution of food packages and essential supplies
- Mobile medical services and medicine distribution

What Results Do We Expect?
