Addiction treatment programs in camps along the Thai–Myanmar border are reaching an increasing number of people as displacement continues. Feedback from participants highlights the impact of these programs:

“The education provided is very effective for camps and teenagers, guiding them toward a better future. I am satisfied with how the project collaborates with camp leaders to share education in schools.”

“The staff work to the best of their ability. I feel their patience in their daily work. They are the people who have given me a better life.”

Your continued support is invaluable to ensure the projects provide dignity.
