Where & what is Lintha Village?
Lintha village is situated on the coastline of the Bay of Bengal in the Rakhine State of Myanmar (Burma). Despite well publicised recent political change in Myanmar, very little has changed for the people of the village who remain poor with minimal healthcare, limited state education, and inadequate diet. Recent political diificulties in the Rakhine State has exacerbated their problems.
What is the Andrew Clark Trust?
The Trust, although registered in the UK is supported by people around the world including the UK, USA, Australia, and many European countries. It is also supported by the Joris Foundation in the Netherlands. The aim of the trust is to provide support to the people of the area in every way possible.
