Basic services in Myanmar/Burma collapsed following a coup in 2021. As the violence worsens, the suffering could last for decades. Prospect Burma tackles the long term crisis. We get young people into higher education abroad, to gain skills to build a safe, inclusive future for the country's people.

Prospect Burma's mission is to invest in the democratic future of Burma through its young people. They educate those who will spread their knowledge and skills back to Burma for its future development. The need is urgent: in 1988, the military government closed all the schools, colleges and universities in Burma following the peaceful student-led demonstrations for democracy in 1988, which were brutally put down. The reality within Burma is that a whole generation of young people has been deprived of the opportunity of education, and the effect on Burma's future is incalculable.

Prospect Burma gives scholarships to gifted and needy students outside Burma, many of whom are refugees. Without this help they would be unable to study.

Please dig deep and sponsor PROSPECT BURMA online.

In making a donation to Prospect Burma, you will be investing in the lives of gifted young people and their commitment to their country's free and democratic future.
