Project KARE
Project KARE delivers school supplies to Karen people in Kaw Thoo Lei - Karen State in Burma - Myanmar. Checks can be written to Project KARE.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Since 2013, Project KARE has made annual trips to deliver school supplies to 4,000+ students, including pens, pencils, notebooks, chalk, erasers, more than 65 used laptop computers, printers, copy paper, plus an 11 Kw diesel generator. Thanks to your generous donations, students now develop computer skills to help open doors for the few employment opportunities that exist with NGOs in camp and to help prepare them for resettlement in a new country. Project KARE has facilitated trips for many volunteers to teach at Mae Ra Moe refugee camp. One consistent request in our meetings with education leaders in camp is .... "we would love to have more volunteer English teachers for our students!" If you know an adventurous teacher who might be willing to travel to rural northern Thailand to help the Karen people, please have them contact us! WHO WE ARE:
Project KARE has three founding board members. Su Baw and her family lived in Mae Ra Moe Refugee Camp from 1995 to 2010 before being resettled in Aurora, CO. Michaely is the Adult Education Director at the Asian Pacific Development Center (APDC) where Su Baw and many other Karen refugees study to improve English language skills. Ron Levis is Su Baw’s ESL Tutor at APDC and he volunteers teaching English at Mae Ra Moe and in Karen State. HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Help us provide school supplies to future Karen leaders. You can hand deliver your donation to one of our co-founders, Su Baw, Michaely or Ron. Or you can donate on-line at:

The situation continues to be dangerous in Karen State / Kaw Thoo Lei. The bombing persists. Life for Karen people is very unpredictable due to persistent bombs from Burma Army planes and drones targeting schools and villages.

Project KARE Golf 2026 is officially under way with our morning skate at Big Bear! What a phenomenal crew of beauties! Huge thanks to all who participate, supporting education for Karen students in Kaw Thoo Lei, Burma / Myanmar.
Thanks to our many very generous Project KARE donors, mountains of school supplies arrived in Kaw Thoo Lei / Karen State in Burma / Myanmar in May 2026. Education leaders will distribute pens, pencils, notebooks, sports equipment and much more to thousands of students in dozens of schools across many miles of remote jungle. Thank you!!!!
The Karen people continue to experience persecution by the Burma Army junta government. Planes and drones drop bombs on schools and villages in civilian locations across Kaw Thoo Lei. Schools have bomb shelters (actually, simple ditches) dug by students before the school year begins.
Despite the omnipresent threat of violence, students are buoyant. They are deeply committed to continuing their education. Karen students study to become leaders in their community and their goal upon completion is to serve their people. Your gifts to Project KARE continue to make it possible for many students who would not have enough money to buy even the most basic, essential supplies - notebooks and pens.
