About Us

We’re a humanitarian service organization with a clear vision: free, full lives for children affected by conflict and oppression.

To love is to act.

Children shouldn’t suffer because adults are fighting.

Since Partners Relief & Development was founded in 1994, we’ve been active in conflict zones in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Prioritizing the hard-to-reach places where other organizations aren’t present, we respond rapidly during crisis events to provide emergency relief.

Working through local partners and directly with these communities affected by war, we join hands to co-develop solutions that sustainably transform community wellbeing, improving access to health care and education and creating a nurturing environment for children to flourish.

Our story.

It all began in a refugee camp on the Thai-Myanmar border.

30 years ago, while patrolling the jungles of Karen State in Myanmar, local resistance soldiers discovered a young girl hidden in the bushes outside a village that had been attacked by Myanmar Army soldiers. With everyone else from the village missing or presumed dead, including her parents, the soldiers made the decision to bring the girl to Sho Klo Refugee camp on the Thai-Myanmar border and to the home of Rose Mu, an inspiring woman who had made a decision to do more than just talk about love; she put it into action by leaving everything in Myanmar behind and opening a safe home for children orphaned by the brutal civil war.
