Health and EarthRights Training Center

The Health and Earth Rights Training (HEART) program is a partnership between EarthRights International and Dr. Cynthia Maung, the award winning Founder and Director of the Mae Tao Clinic, which provides free health care for refugees, migrant workers, and other individuals who cross the border from Burma to Thailand. The purpose of the HEART program, launched in 2011, is to train participants from the Thai-Burma border areas in relation to health, environment and human rights. By building the skills and knowledge of key stakeholders inside Burma, the course will help create a cadre of skilled individuals able to work for the protection of the environment, human rights and health within their communities.
