Myanmar

Since 2016, RedR UK has been delivering a 'pop-up' open training programme in Myanmar, where the humanitarian and development sector is going from strength to strength as the country transitions. 

We can also respond to requests for tailor-made training in Myanmar: contact us to find out more.

Humanitarian assistance has a rather short history in Myanmar, and there are very few opportunities for people to build up the specific skill sets required to do this kind of work. RedR UK’s hands-on training courses provide a rare opportunity for people to learn from actual humanitarian practitioners.

Nepal

In partnership with our sister organisation RedR India, we responded to the devastating earthquakes that struck Nepal in the spring of 2015. In the months that followed, we provided training in 'Managing Projects in Emergencies', 'Hygiene Promotion and Community Mobilisation', and 'Safer Shelter Construction' - helping affected communities recover, rebuild, and prepare for future shocks, with a view to reducing their impact.

Speaking in front of a crowd of new faces has been challenging for me. As the time passes, however, I have honed my skills and my ability to deliver my message confidently. [The training] has helped me to grow personally as well as professionally. It has enhanced my public speaking skills and boosted my confidence. It was one of the best training courses I have ever done, and a turning point for my professional development.

Through our Safer Schools programme, teachers working in high-risk regions were trained in first aid, disaster risk reduction, fire safety, safe evacuation and psychosocial support. They went on to share these skills with colleagues and pupils who, in turn, passed on the knowledge to parents and other community members. In this way, life-saving skills are shared through entire communities

Children are our future and if they think positively, they can transform society. This is the real change that is occurring. You are not teaching one child a good thing: you are teaching an entire family something that can save lives.
