Since 2011, KWAT has been providing humanitarian assistance to the Kachin Internally Displaced Persons such as basic food, hygiene kits, nutrition, shelter and medicine. KWAT also provides emergency support to human rights violation survivors and human rights defenders such as basic food, relocation, accommodation, health care and communication cost.

About Us

The Burmese military has ruled and waged civil war within the territory of the union of Burma for many decades. As a result, Kachin and non-Burman ethnicities have been enduring severe hardship, such as impoverishment, and lack of access to health and education. In 1994, a ceasefire agreement was signed between the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO/A) and the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), but did not lead to any political negotiation. Instead, the SPDC took advantage of the agreement to start large-scale extraction of natural resources from the territory of Kachin State.
