UPDATE: Due to the ongoing violence resulting from the Military Coup in Myanmar, we have adopted a supplemental mission to bring urgent assistance to the people of Myanmar by providing the following:
- Security and protection for internally displaced persons (IDP) in Karen State
- Families of the fallen and of those detained indefinitely
- Families of those evicted from their homes due to their participation in the CDM movement
- Low-income families who can no longer earn a living due to the implementation of martial law
- Medicine and medical expenses of those injured in the violent crackdowns.
One orphanage at a timeOur strategy is to help one orphanage at a time, ensuring that each orphanage is self-sufficient before moving on to help the next one.

Current ProjectSt. Ann is an orphanage located in Taunggyi in the Shan State of Burma (Myanmar). It is currently housing 70 children who are taken care of by nuns from the nearby church. Our plan involves setting up an animal farm on the orphanage-owned land.

LacquerwareDuring their last visit to the St. Ann orphanage, Rita and Nick brought back traditional Burmese lacquerware, which is an ancient art. It is for sale and 100% of the proceeds will go towards helping St. Ann and other orphanages in the future.
