MyanmarAidFunded by the Andrew Clark Trust, supported by Brooks Development Trust and the Joris Foundation
Who We AreThe history of the Trust goes back to a trip to Myanmar in 1998, which changed Sue & Sahin's lives. Touched by the plight of a boy whose mother could not afford to feed him or send him to school, they decided to pay for his education along with two other children. Helped by many people, there are now well over 250 children being sponsored. A school was built to teach English. The children are so enthusiastic and keen to learn, that they arrive up to two hours early for classes.

What We Do
- Sponsor poor children through the state education.
- Help establish a bond between school children in Myanmar and other countries for nurturing greater understanding of the world beyond local boundaries.
- Provide healthcare for the children of Lintha Village if families can't afford doctor's fees. Children could die of diseases that can be readily treated.
- Provide English lessons free of charge.
- Provide use of the Andrew Clark Trust Library which was opened in 2005 and has over 2500 books. It has a full time librarian and is open 6 days a week. Around 200 books are borrowed each week.
Our Aim

Our aim is:
Our aim is:
- To teach English, to all the community, both children and adults, enabling them to get jobs in tourism. English is also necessary should they want to train in medicine, science and IT as well as in many other fields.
- To give children the chance of basic education, and for our brightest ones, the chance of further education. To provide children with access to medical healthcare, and if funds allow, offer this to adults.
