You are likely aware of the recent cuts to USAID, by the American Government. These cuts have had the devastating result of deleting all food and health care from the refugee camps on the Thai/Myanmar Border. This is an emergency situation. At DARE Network we were recipients of funding from USAID and have had $100,000 USD cut from our budget. Most of our budget goes toward stipends for our Addiction Workers and FOOD for our clients and workers. We are in urgent need of food for our work.
At DARE Network, we are able to continue our addiction work in the Refugee Camps on the Thai side of the border. Our work inside Karen State continues amid a brutal war with our brave Addiction Workers training new workers and treating clients at our DARE Centre. Every day is dangerous in Burma/Myanmar but our people are up to the challenge. They need as much support as they can get.
DARE Network remains on the ground to help people find ways to manage their lives in the face of all these difficulties, without abusing drugs and alcohol and by preventing young people from starting. As cuts from the US Government have stretched our budget to near breaking, we are appealing for donations so that we can offer food to our clients to foster their healing from substance abuse and to our dedicated Addiction Workers so they have the strength to help those under their care.
The greatest effect at this time is the fact that DARE Network is embedded in the refugee communities. We need to bridge the gap between the rock and the hard place, until the displaced people from Myanmar can work for their own livelihoods. We appreciate your continued support to the well-being of the displaced ethnic people in camps, on the Thai/Burma Border. It is now more important than ever. Thank you so much for your help.
