Burma Projekt e.V. Berlin

Who we are

Our organisation Burma Projekt e.V. was founded by an initiative of Burmese people living in Berlin and their German friends in 1991. Currently Burma Projekt e.V. has about 50 members, who are predominantly engaged in the support of Burmese victims of civil war and poverty and try to promote the cultural exchange between Burmese and German people.

We just started the translation of this site, more soon !

According to our statutes, Burma Projekt e.V. aims for

the cultural exchange between the Burmese and the German people,

spreading of information on Burma in Germany,

Poverty reduction in Burma.

The projects organised in the past were focused on educational and humanitarian aid and were implemented in collaboration with NGOs and other foundations in Thai-Burmese areas. Since 1993 most of the members have visited Burma and have been successfully involved in educational and medical projects with local organisations. We believe firmly that such projects are the foundation of development in civil society in such period of crisis.

We could implement such projects, because we as Burmese know the complexity of the political situation inside Burma. We can differentiate the priorities of the needs of adults and children who are really in need of help.

Burma Projekt e.V. holds meetings every month and is open to all people interested in the country, culture and people of Burma.

Burma Projekt e.V. has been officially registered since 1991 as a tax-privileged association at the Berlin "Finanzamt für Körperschaften".

We appreciate any kind of help and support for our activities.

Ein Weg zur Ernährungssicherheit - New blood School

There are no translations available.

Der Spielplatz von der New Bloo School Die New Blood School in der Nähe von Mae Sot in Thailand wird 2011 von Burma Projekt unterstÜtzt. Im Jahr 2008 hatten wir der Schule einen Schulbus gespendet (hier eine Beschreibung des Projektes) und Nothilfe geleistet, indem wir Reis und Nahrungsmittel gekauft hatten.

Diese Schule wurde 2003 von burmesischen Migranten gegründet. Damals hatte sie 70 Schüler, heute sind es bereits 315 Schüler. Neun Lehrer sind angestellt und 120 Schüler schlafen vor Ort in einem Internat. Die Schüler werden auf Burmesisch und Thai unterrichtet, damit sie entweder eines Tages in ihre Heimat zurückkehren können oder bessere Chancen in Thailand haben. Letztes Jahr beherrschten 37 Schüler die thailändische Sprache und die anderen Fächer so gut, dass sie in die 5. Klasse einer öffentlichen Schule aufgenommen wurden. Die Schule bietet zusätzlich Englischunterricht, der von 15 älteren Schülern wahrgenommen wird.

Das sind sehr gute Nachrichten, allerdings kämpft die Schule mit dem großen Problem „Ernährung“. Hier möchten wir nachhaltig helfen!

An appeal for donations for a new school bus

Pupils of the New Blood School need a new school bus

The New Blood school is located in the vicinity of Mae Sot, Thailand, not far from the border to Burma. The school was founded by Burmese refugees in 2003. Most pupils do not live in the refugee camps but live illegally in the surrounding villages. Therefore they have to travel long distances to New Blood School, constantly facing the danger of being checked by police or being kidnapped. For this reason, school staff picks up the pupils in the morning and takes them home after school.

The old school bus

The old school bus, a second-hand converted pick-up truck, runs eight long routes each day. Burma Projekt e. V. financed it in 2008 with the help of Stiftung Nord-Süd Brücken. Due to its constant use, lately the school bus breaks down regularly while repairs become more costly and more extensive. The school urgently needs a new bus so the children can carry on with their education.

Please transfer donations for a new school bus to the following account:

The school of Mae Wah Kee

erstklaessler_MWK_web The school of Mae Wah Kee is located in the Myawaddy district, in the Karen state in Burma.

Since the elections on 7^th November 2010, there have been conflicts between the government and a number of local armed groups in the Karen state. Last school year, we had financed another three schools in this state. Unfortunately, all three schools and villages had to be evacuated because they were amidst the conflict area. The school in Mae Wah Kee was the only one that remained open, as the conflicts were far enough away from the village. This little school was founded by internally displaced people back in 2005. Since November 2011, many families of the neighbouring villages have found shelter at the school. Today, six teachers are giving lessons to 130 pupils between the ages three and fourteen.

It is our aim to give these pupils free access to education while preventing child labour.

The charity “Salon – Zur wilden Renate” funds this project for the school year 2011/2012. Burma Projekt and the Good Friends Center in Mae Sot (Thailand) are responsible for monitoring and controlling.
