Prospect Burma has received many enquiries about the current situation. Our students, their families, and the people of Burma are at the front of our thoughts and prayers as we continue to hope for a peaceful solution.
Prospect Burma was formed 18 years ago just after the 1988 uprising to keep the flame of education alive for Burma. Over that time we have helped to educate over 1000 Burmese students many of whom have gone on to help Burma both from within and outside Burma. We support a teacher training programme in Thailand, training teachers who in turn go into Burma and train more teachers, an English language school in Mai Ja Yang and in Delhi. We are endorsed by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who donates funds from her Nobel Peace Prize towards the education of Burmese students. You can read more about our activities on the website but as we hope and pray for Burma we end with the words from one of our students.
" Prospect Burma's scholarship changed my whole life. Without it, I would not have been able to graduate. I dedicate my knowledge, skills and the rest of my life to work for the restoration of democracy, peace, justice and prosperity in Burma"

An outstanding gift of £11,689 was made in June by the philanthropical Funding Network, thanks to long-term Prospect Burma supporter Nick Salter. Mr Salter has been a member of the Funding Network (TFN) for a couple of years, and sponsored Prospect Burma to make a presentation at a Network meeting alongside four other charities, each seeking donations towards their work. The Funding Network is an informal affiliation of individuals from a variety of backgrounds with the common purpose of using their material prosperity to fund social change – in effect it acts as a ‘marketplace’ bringing together those who wish to give and those representatives of small charities that are eager for support.

Prospect Burma’s Director, Ian Sloane, reports on progress in this year’s Scholarship Programme
Reading the biographies and aspirations of so many young Burmese, both inside and outside their homeland, is always fascinating, but often also devastating.
