Prospect Burma's Achievements

Monk_teacher_training_programme_-_Chiang_MaiSince our foundation in 1989:

  • We have supported the education of over 1,500 Burmese students.

  • We have enabled them to qualify as nurses, public health workers, teachers, journalists, engineers and human rights specialists and lawyers, among other professions.

  • They have gone on to work for non-government health and education organisations inside Burma and with refugees on the borders, as well as for campaigning organisations for human rights, freedom of speech and democracy in Burma.

  • Others have gone on to higher research and teaching positions, or are adding professional experience to their qualifications until they are able to return to Burma.

  • We support free English language teaching and computer training at Prospect Burma's English Language Training School in New Delhi for Burmese refugees , as well as some English language courses inside Burma to enable more students to gain admission to higher education courses abroad.

  • We fund vocational courses, and teacher training programmes, including for teacher-monks who are able to go back to Burma and teach in their villages.

In the words of one of our graduate students:

 

"We have one thing set in our hearts: our country will need us dearly one day, and the future of Burma is in our hands. Prospect Burma plays a vital role in making our dreams come true and building our future democratic Burma."
