24 March 2020 - World TB Day 2020

Today is World TB Day 2020

Today marks the 1st anniversary of the premiere screening of our TB awareness drama film UNDER THE MASK produced with health partner SMRU – we send congratulations and special thanks to all those who were part of the journey of making and sharing the film with the community through our mobile cinema and SMRU’s TB public engagement team.   Together we have directly reached over 12,500 villagers and migrant students and their families who live along the Thai Myanmar border with important health messaging.

It’s Time to End TB https://www.who.int/news-room/campaigns/world-tb-day/world-tb-day-2020

and it’s time to prevent Covid-19 and as the Director General of the World Health Organisation said yesterday, we can get through this - TOGETHER  

Our refugee team are currently working in the camp to produce an animation film on Covid 19 prevention messaging in Karen and Burmese which will share online and distribute via our televisions in the Out Patient Departments in the camps and local health clinics.

We need your continued support to maintain our programme and to purchase more televisions and thumb drives for camps who do not yet have them.

Please continue to support us at this crucial time if you can!

And dont forget to wash your hands, stay at home and keep your social distance!

Thank you for your support and stay safe.
