Your gift makes the dream of education possible for thousands of Karen people!
Project KARE will deliver essential school supplies to thousands of Karen students in Karen State in Burma (Myanmar) and at Mae Ra Moe Refugee Camp on the Thai/Burma border.
In 2017 we delivered pens, pencils, notebooks and much more to 2,300+ students in five schools at Mae Ra Moe and to 1,300+ students in six area schools in Karen State in Burma. We hope to extend our reach to many more students in our next KARE Trip in 2018!
Project KARE is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization improving the lives of Karen refugees by providing school supplies and English language training in refugees camps in Thailand and in Karen State in Burma.

Latest Update
It's #GivingTuesday and there are just six weeks to go before our Project KARE team heads for the Thai/Burma border to deliver school supplies to Karen people. With your help we’ll put pens, pencils, notebooks and much more, in the hands of thousands of enthusiastic Karen students in rural villages in Karen State in Burma and in Mae Ra Moe refugee camp in northwest Thailand. In our last trip, the roads into the Burma jungle were closed to four wheel vehicles due to a late monsoon season. With that, more than 50 students walked 12 hours through the jungle to meet us at the river and unload the boat. The next day these students hand carried boxes of supplies on foot for the 12 hour return to village schools! Project KARE is an all-volunteer nonprofit. 100% of your gift goes directly to the purchase of deeply needed supplies.

Hi to our KARE friends! A quick summer update from Project KARE. We've been very busy! From June to August more than 20 volunteer English teachers from around the world have traveled to Mae Ra Moe refugee camp to teach Karen students. We're well on our way to 60 volunteers teaching at camp in 2018! Check out Sarah from England singing a duet (in Karen language!) with her new friend in camp. https://tinyurl.com/y7ue6nz9 In August more than 20 KARE volunteers helped us serve as a Non-Profit Partner at the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival. We managed a Coca-Cola booth and a snow cone booth too! Project KARE earns a percentage of the proceeds which we'll use to buy school supplies. And our friends at Colfax Creative developed a beautiful Project KARE video including interviews with all three co-founders - Su Baw, Michaely and Ron. Have a look! https://vimeo.com/284537357 Thank you so much for your continued support. Enjoy the rest of your summer! Your friends at KARE

Happy spring to our Project KARE friends! The flowers are blossoming and new growth is happening everywhere. Like the natural world around us, the Karen students are growing too! Your generous donations nurture each student with the supplies they need to fulfill their dream of an education. In addition to providing school supplies, Project KARE introduces wonderful volunteer teachers to schools at Mae Ra Moe refugee camp. Students are delighted to meet volunteers and are excited to practice their English skills. In 2018, 12 volunteers have already made the journey to Mae Ra Moe refugee camp and 12 more volunteers are already planning their trips. Many come from America and others from Canada, Ireland, England, New Zealand, Holland, Denmark, Thailand and even India! Thank you for your continued support of the Karen people. You're giving thousands of students a chance for a better future! Photo: Project KARE co-founder and teacher, Su Baw. Ta blu doh ma! (Thank you very much!)

Hi to our friends of Project KARE! As we begin the new year we're excited to share a quick update on our activities in Mae Ra Moe refugee camp. Many volunteers have been discovering us on social media and are now busy teaching English at the refugee camp. In January seven volunteers have come from around the globe to teach at Mae Ra Moe and in February five more will make the journey to northwest Thailand! Every volunteer emerges from Mae Ra Moe with a deep passion to help the Karen people and many are busy making plans for their return! Many of these wonderful volunteers have raised funds to bring school supplies to the high school where they will teach. It's really amazing to see the generosity of so many volunteers giving their time, and more, to help the Karen people. If you know an adventurous volunteer who would like to teach English at Mae Ra Moe refugee camp please have them review our Workaway profile - https://www.workaway.info/491385263563-en.html Ta blu pa doh!
