Act, treat, prevent 

Farida is twelve years old. Forced to flee the floods in the north of Bangladesh, she works in a leather processing factory in Dhaka, the capital of the country. Like Farida, children in South Asia are obliged to cope with poverty, lack of access to decent sanitation, healthcare and treatment, to say nothing of the risks of exploitation, trafficking, violence, abuse and abandonment.  

We are working in the field to expand healthcare systems, improve maternal and infant health, support gender equality, and protect children from abuse. We are providing emergency assistance to families affected by climate change-induced natural disasters or forced displacement, such as in Bangladesh and Myanmar.

A spark of hope for refugee families

In a neighbourhood house with Thant Sin Aye

itinerant doctor in Myanmar   

“We organise what is known as a mobile clinic. We bring all the necessary equipment and medicine and we set up in a house in the neighbourhood. Families come and see us, and in this way we can treat any illnesses that do not require a stay in hospital.”  

In a township west of Yangon, in Myanmar, Daw Thin Thin's house is alive with the shouts and laughter of children. This young mother looks tired, but a hopeful smile lights up her face. She has been very concerned for weeks about Myo Thet Paing and Myo Pa Pa, her 2-year old twins born prematurely who were suffering from malnutrition. Thant Sin Aye, the Tdh doctor working in the township, offers a positive assessment. “Following the diagnosis, the twins were treated for malnutrition. We have given advice on nutrition to the family and provided some financial support.”
