We neither received any funding from any organisation in 2010 nor do we expect it from any other souce so far.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT 3. Why? Please describe in a few sentences why the proposed activities are necessary and what are the problems that you want to solve.

Honestly, our organisation sits idle without activity due to lack of funding. Our community back at home in Burma has been so far unaware of human rights or their rights and they are badly in need of awareness training on it. Besides, the jobless Kuki refugees here in New Delhi need help and support. In order to solve both these problems, we need start a self-income generation project.
