Where we are

WEAVE has offices in Chiang Mai, Mae Sot and Mae Hong Son. Our projects are based in Karen and Karenni refugee camps along the Thai Burma border. We have recently extended our work to cover the Indo-Burmese border.

In the communities where WEAVE works -- along the Thai-Burma border -- immediate family members, communities and caregivers play a vital role.

The organisation has evolved over the years, especially in the context of the influx of refugees from Burma.

There are over 100,000 refugees along the Thai-Burmese border. They escape from the brutal Burmese Regime, in the hopes of finding a better life.
