Civil society marks resumption of conflict in Kachin State; Four years of aid to displaced residents of Karenni State

Four years of aid to displaced residents of Karenni State

A non-profit organization calling itself Dove KK celebrated its fourth anniversary on Monday. It has provided humanitarian aid to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), who have fled their homes since fighting spread after the 2021 military coup, and now live at camps in resistance-controlled areas of Karenni and Shan states. The group also provides healthcare and education to the IDPs.

“We have established a clinic for civilians and resistance fighters,” the spokesperson told DVB on the condition of anonymity. The Dove KK organization runs vocational schools providing English language training and has set up libraries with donated books in the IDP camps across Karenni and southern Shan.
