Prospect Burma is a non-political organization based in the United Kingdom that started in 1989. The organization initially focused on supporting refugees forced to flee Myanmar. They began raising money to buy books and classrooms in refugee schools, and provided an annual scholarship to one exiled Myanmar student to support him in attending university.
At Prospect Burma, they believe the best way to create deep and lasting peace and to help any country recover from the impact of conflict is by investing in education.
The organization works on three main programmes: Access to learning, leadership learning, and change in society. Through these three programs, Prospect Burma supports transformative education for qualified Myanmar students, regardless of their religious or ethnic background.
Over the years, Prospect Burma has grown significantly, by developing and expanding its scholarship programs, and has gone from offering one scholarship annually to offering approximately 80 to 90 scholarships annually.
