Millions are left homeless and at risk of disease.

More than 20% of the Chin population, many of whom are Christian, face severe food shortages.

Over 1 million people are displaced from their homes.

This often occurs from refugee camps on the Burma borders.

For many Karen Christians, refugee camps enable them to worship together openly.

Use your voice to bring hope to a suffering people.
