Myanmar/Burma Relief and Welfare Association is a non-political, non-religious and non-profit making voluntary organisation.

It was set up in 2001 by a group of like-minded individuals resident in the U.K., wishing to facilitate culturally effective and sensitive social care and development to  Myanmarese / Burmese people who are in dire need of various kinds of Support services.

Some of us have been settled in the U.K for many years and some have started a new life in this country not so long ago. However we all need to set-up effective development and support facilities for ourselves and for our younger generations.

Our Aims:

Initially, MBRWA would like to address the issues of the needs of people of Myanmarese/ Burmese origin, resident in the U.K., in the areas of housing, employment, further education, vocational training, entrepreneurial skills development, health and social services, etc.

MBRWA will work to facilitate :

- Employment support, including work experience, training and Career guidance to the Burmese/ Myanmarese youth and those of working age.

- Culturally sensitive personal and family support services.

- Access to mainstream facilities, opportunities and support mechanisms.

- Essential and accessible advice, information and guidance on matters of relevance and importance  to Burmese / Myanmarese  people including education and training , IT and ICT, career opportunities, social welfare, health care, housing, independent living etc.

We will also aim to organize events for social interlocutory and friendship purposes and to bring U.K’s Myanmarese/ Burmese community together for networking and to share skills and expertise for mutually beneficial improvements in the lives and positions of Myanmarese / Burmese people.
