Burma Lifeline (Boulder, Colorado) is a nonprofit, founded in 1999, that is dedicated to helping refugees from the tyranny in Burma (Myanmar) survive in neighboring countries, mainly Thailand. There are over 1 million Burmese refugees hiding in neighboring countries.

A special donation fund and program for relief efforts for the victims of the recent Cyclone Nargis has now been established.

Burma Lifeline provides basic medical care through border clinics, construction of shelters, educational support for schools, student lunch program at schools, computer education, emergency relief (food, water, blankets).

Hundreds of Karen refugees from Burma have resettled in U.S. cities and are hoping for the situation to improve in their home country.

Inge and Tad Sargent have been assisting the refugees in Burma since 1995. Inge Sargent live in Burma in the 1950’s and wrote Twilight Over Burma, a book about her life in Burma.

Information on their operations and donation opportunities are available on their website.
