Myanmar

Since independence from Great Britain in 1948, armed conflict has raged in Buddhist-majority Myanmar between the army and the ethno-religious minorities.
Hundreds of thousands of people, including many Christians, have been displaced, wounded, tortured and killed in recent decades.
CSI launched a new aid project in 2020 that focuses on the mainly Christian Karen minority.

CSI priorities:

Covering boarding school costs in Thailand for children from a refugee camp in Myanmar
Emergency aid for internally displaced persons (food, medicine, tarpaulins, blankets, drinking water)

Young Karen survivors of conflict chase their dreams in Thailand

Fleeing bombardment and oppression by the military junta in Myanmar, families belonging to the persecuted Karen minority take great risks in helping their children cross over to neighboring Thailand. But for the children and young people, life as an unregistered asylum seeker is dangerous. CSI partners offer them protection and help.
