Conflict in Burma

​Since June 2011 the Burmese central government has been in open conflict with the Kachin Independence Army, following a failure in peace talks to resolve their longstanding conflict. While this conflict dates back decades, the most intense fighting to date has happened over the past four years, forcing almost 100,000 Kachin people to flee from their homes.

As the central government appears determined to crush this remaining pocket of armed resistance in Burma, their tactics have been increasingly harsh. Children on the Edge has collected first-hand accounts from civilians who have been displaced. They speak of brutal violence, ongoing atrocities, bombings, and severe violation of human rights, including rape, maiming, executions, and the burning of villages.

Many civilians have taken shelter inside poorly supplied internally displaced peoples (IDP) camps. IDP camps continue to grow, and those seeking refuge are increasingly bleak about the prospect of returning home to rebuild their lives.
​
In the seven northern camps of Kachin State there is no other international organization offering ongoing support of any kind. The majority of these camps are in remote, mountain areas, making access difficult. Confined within these camps are thousands of Kachin children with no educational or physical support, and nowhere to escape the daily realities of war. Children on the Edge is uniquely situated to reach the marginalized and vulnerable children in the remote IDP camps.

Press Release: Changing Young Lives Foundation Announces TFISH Collaboration 

6/25/2014

 
We have a new partner organization -- Changing Young Lives Foundation, a Hong Kong registered charity striving to identify underprivileged children, youths and their families in Hong Kong and mainland China and change their lives for the better. We are supporting their project to supply heat for schools in Qinghai, China.

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(via CYLF News Release)

Hong Kong, 10th June 2014 –
Changing Young Lives Foundation (CYLF) is delighted to announce its collaboration with Transparent Fish Fund. Striving to improve the quality of education for children in impoverished areas of mainland China, CYLF is most grateful to have Transparent Fish Fund’s sponsorship of a heating supply project for Daotanghe Central Boarding School in Qinghai, where the students are desperately in need of heating supply for the winter. This project will equip the school with the necessary heating facilities to provide the students with warm classrooms. The children would otherwise have to study in chilly weather with temperature as low as -30 degree Celsius.

CYLF’s Executive Director Tammy Leung says, “We depend solely on public support and donations, by choice, we do not receive government subvention so as to remain flexible in developing our programmes to meet the imminent needs of children and youth, both in Hong Kong and the mainland. The support of Transparent Fish Fund is most significant to help us maintain and develop our services”.

Changing Young Lives Foundation is one of the few first charities working in Qinghai and over the decade has supported the continuous development of 18 primary and secondary schools in terms of school reconstruction, building of dormitory, canteen and solar bathroom, clean water supply, healthcare and hygiene improvement, as well as teacher training and medical support. 

Together with our support to 3 other project schools in Guangxi and Gansu, we endeavour to help enhance the learning, boarding and teaching environment in the deprived rural regions of mainland China. CYLF is proud to become a trustworthy partner of Transparent Fish Fund which emphasizes the transparency and accountability of the organizations it supports, and supports the capacity building of selected NGOs. We look forward to a continuous partnership in building a better future for children in the mainland.
