In any conflict, children suffer the most. Burma’s army continues to launch attacks against their ethnic minorities—the internally displaced has increased by two thirds, from 1.8 to 3 million according to the UN. The displaced have no access to healthcare, and as a result suffer the most, exposed to harsh conditions. One example is infant mortality, with 1 in 10 children not surviving the birth process without medical care. Additionally, more than 1 in 10 suffer from malaria.

Burma Humanitarian Mission is making a difference. Their brave backpack medic teams travel to those displaced and provide medicine to treat common, and lethal conditions such as: malaria, dysentery, infections, landmine injuries, and postpartum complications. The medics have traveled to isolated villages and camps, providing medical and maternal care, and as a result, infant mortality has dropped 100 times in the last two decades. Your gift of medicine can help them save more lives.
