How does DASSK spend her Prize Money?

PROSPECT BURMA

PROSPECT BURMA gives young Burmese people access to education – one of the United Nation’s fundamental human rights. Since 1988 Burmese universities have been repeatedly closed and education remains in crisis. A whole generation has been deprived of education and the effect on Burma’s future is incalculable.

Since our foundation in 1989 we have supported over 1,400 Burmese students, enabling them to qualify as professionals and to go on to work for Burma both inside and outside the country.

We also fund free English language tuition for desperately poor Burmese refugees in Delhi, a teacher training programme for Burmese in Thailand who in turn train other teachers in Burma, and English language courses inside Burma.

As the message below attests, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi endorses the work we do and she generously donates part of the income from her Nobel Peace Prize and other prizes towards our work.
