YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

One of the main aims of MBRWA is to improve the position in the lives of our Burmese youth who are the latest day migrants from Burma to settle in the UK and making Britain their new home.

However, this group faces enormous difficulties in terms of linguistics and cultural changes, and therefore need a substantial a mount of support to adjust or to fit into the new environment. Support in many important areas such as pursuing further education, employment and entitlements, vocational training opportunities, healthcare, housing, social care, recreational activities, arts, sports and other areas.

In order to achieve its aims, MBRWA-Youth project will be working to facilitate these supports for our Burmese youth. The following are some of the planned activities under this project.
