Help to self-help

By Marion Muck | 1st chairwoman

In March 2025, we purchased a rice mill and a generator to pay local farmers in the conflict zone of Kayah/Shan State a fair price for their rice harvests, thereby securing their livelihood.
After milling, the rice is sold at a lower price than on the public market to provide the local population with an affordable supply. The profits generated are used specifically to support internally displaced persons, as no profit is sought from the purchase and sale of this rice.
This project is intended as a means of helping people to help themselves: it aims to provide long-term support, create jobs, and offer refugees and villagers prospects for the future. Our goal is to make people less dependent on external aid so that one day they can take control of their lives again.
Of course, we continue to provide many extremely poor families with regular food parcels. In addition, schoolchildren are provided with a hot lunch on a regular basis—until the investment in the rice mill generates enough profit to support poor families and refugees on a permanent basis.
