Located in the north-west of Myanmar, Chin State is one of the poorest and most vulnerable states in the country. The local population, poor and dependent on farming for their livelihood, is isolated in this very mountainous region affected by recurrent and serious natural disasters (cyclones, floods, landslides). Living in an area that is difficult to access, this population has faced a number of challenges over the years, such as infrastructure problems, poor economic development, food insecurity and regional conflicts (with around 7,500 people displaced in Paletwa Township).
In addition, the increase in violence following the coup d’état in February 2021 has forced many people to leave their homes and has also contributed to a general feeling of insecurity in a region where resources and economic opportunities are scarce. As part of this project, Triangle Génération Humanitaire and its partner, RCDF, are working with host communities and displaced people affected by the conflict. These isolated rural communities, located on the Paletwa-Samee axis and along the border with Matupi Township, suffer from a lack of hygiene infrastructure and education facilities for their children. The arrival of large numbers of displaced persons has exacerbated this situation.
This project aims to improve the lives of vulnerable populations by :
- The deployment of volunteers to facilitate home education for children;
- Setting up recreational areas and psychological support;
- Rehabilitating sanitary facilities, improving access to water and preventing COVID-19.
The 12-month project is designed to meet the basic needs of the children of displaced persons and host communities, and to improve coordination between the various players in the area.
