1979
ARC has been assisting refugees in Thailand since the organization’s founding in 1979. Through the 1980s, ARC was providing health care and assistance to refugees on the Thai-Cambodian border. But today, ARC provides health care services, health education, and water, sanitation and environmental health services to Karen refugees in camps on the border with Myanmar.
ARC focuses on building the capacity and skills of constituents, training them to become health care providers and community leaders so they may apply these skills upon their return to Myanmar or their relocation to a third country.
