Burma Border Link provides tailored service-learning opportunities for groups to gain exposure to a wide range of social and political issues affecting people from Burma. These include human rights, grassroots environmental activism, conflict studies, migration, refugee issues, ethnic reconciliation, women’s empowerment, education, and public health.

Our extensive network of partners, built up over the last ten years includes local community based organizations (CBOs), migrant schools, refugee camps and International Non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Burma Border Link trips are best suited for groups of 8 to 16 participants that are willing to travel to remote border towns, immerse themselves in local culture, and demonstrate flexibility and patience in a sometimes challenging environment. We encourage participants to come with the intention to learn and to serve.
