The Karen are a people group concentrated along the Thai-Myanmar border. Although deeply community oriented, one of the world’s longest civil wars has forced many to flee their homes. Even as peace in Myanmar struggles forward, many Karen still struggle to scratch out a living as farmers. In mountain and jungle areas, little is left over for education or healthcare.
Earth Mission’s programs are focused on developing a sustainable training program for indigenous healthcare teams to serve these marginalized areas. According to Earth Mission principles, we work at several levels to ensure solutions are efficient, culturally sensitive, practical and permanent.
Vision: We want to see all people in remote Karen areas have access to high quality healthcare.
Mission: Train healthcare teams to empower people in remote Karen areas with health, hope, and knowledge.
