In the charity's own words
The charity operates in the area of the Irrawaddy delta (in Burma/Myanmar) which was devastated by Cyclone Nargis in 2008. We focus on remote areas not reached by other agencies. Our current focus is on vocational training for various target groups. We also have a rolling programme of maintenance for the schools we built after the cyclone.
