Description :
"Last year, I felt like I had lost everything after stepping on a landmine," says the 16-year-old girl from Mogaung Township.” Shortly after, I received a prosthesis and treatment at the Myitkyina Physical Rehabilitation Centre. For my emotional recovery, I received mental health and psychosocial support services. I found a ray of hope through the ICRC's educational support. Now I have the opportunity to continue my education and reconnect with friends and family".
In addition to providing prostheses and medical care, the ICRC offers scholarships and vocational training tailored to the specific needs of people with physical disabilities. ICRC’s goal is to help them achieve long-term independence and personal development.
