In 1961, a young doctor from San Diego volunteering at a Tijuana clinic saved the lives of two small children who were dying of pneumonia. This experience led Dr. Jim Turpin to found Project Concern International and forever change the lives of millions of children around the world by providing health and poverty solutions. Today, the underlying vision of the organization has remained true to its founder: Project Concern works in vulnerable communities by preventing disease, providing poverty solutions and creating long-term change by helping people to help themselves. But there is still much to be done. Please lend you voice and spread our message of global concern. Each of us can make a difference...one child at a time.

We educate those who will spread their knowledge and skills back to Burma for its future development. The need is urgent: in 1988, the military government closed all the schools, colleges and universities in Burma following the peaceful student-led demonstrations for democracy in 1988, which were brutally put down. Although the universities are periodically reopened, they remain subject to arbitrary closure. Those that are open are subject to repressive military control, and they are cripplingly under equipped: for instance, one class of 400 medical students had six text-books between them, published in the 1960s. The reality within Burma is that a whole generation of young people has been deprived of the opportunity of education, and the effect on Burma's future is incalculable. In response to this, we give scholarships to gifted and needy Burmese students to study at universities outside Burma, many of whom are refugees.
