Summary

Thanks to many supporters, DARE Network's Social Enterprise has expanded its Moringa project by planting 200 trees at our Migrant Worker DARE Centre on the land we purchased last year. We anticipate a bumper crop. Meanwhile, the Military Junta of Myanmar continues to bomb towns and villages across Myanmar displacing millions of people from their homes. Food Aid is not adequately reaching the people, as the Junta blocks International Organizations, including UNHCR, the Red Cross. We have access.

Challenge

Inside Myanmar over 3,000,000 people have lost their homes and livelihoods (UN). DARE Network has decided to provide Moringa Powder, a culturally appropriate, nutritional powerhouse to as many displaced people as our local coalitions can reach, for free. In order to do this, we need to build a small processing building, purchase a powder grinder for our Moringa plantation location, other equipment and weatherproof packaging, and pay for transportation inside Myanmar, provided by local people.

Solution

DARE Network is dedicated to helping prevent and treat addiction among its own people. DARE has run in the refugee camps on both sides of the Thai/ Myanmar border for 24 years. DARE Network will continue to offer Moringa Powder and Capsules for retail in Thailand and Overseas. But now, every time someone purchases a pack of Moringa, we will send 5 more packs to the displaced people in Myanmar. Help us ramp up our production so we can prevent starvation and support the nutrition of war refugees.

Long-Term Impact

Are you aware of the amazing Moringa Tree and the many benefits of its leaves, roots and pods? It is used by local people to enhance their diet providing high levels of protein, iron, calcium and B &C Vitamins. It can make the difference between malnutrition and good health. People in developed countries have started to use Moringa to maximize well-being. By providing this product to local and international people, DARE can sustain its work with traumatized and addicted people on the border.
