Foundation for the People of Burma (FPB) is the largest, independently-supported, U.S.-based humanitarian organization focusing exclusively on Burma. We have been implementing projects and supporting community-based action since 1999. Our programs provide direct assistance to communities that have been severely affected by injustice. We engage in compassionate, creative and strategic interventions which facilitate positive, long-lasting change for those that face scarcity and lack personal freedom.

Since 1999 we have had the privilege of collaborating with community-based partners to bring a wide range of services to tens of thousands of people inside Burma and refugees in neighboring countries. Services include basic health care, primary education, improved teaching materials, HIV treatment, leadership training, emergency food relief, clean water and income-generating activities. We respect each community’s desire for self-determination by listening sensitively in order to facilitate effective, human-scale improvements without ethnic or religious discrimination.
