About Us

To support the needs of Shan State youth and children and to operate as a communication center, Shan students and other Shan youth who were working in Thailand founded Shan Youth Power (SYP) in August 5, 2002.

Owing to systematic human rights abuses, including mass killings, rape, forced labor, and forced relocation committed by military genta in Burma, many Shan people in Shan State have been fleeing to Thailand and along Thai-Burma border. No refugee camp is provided for Shan as a shelter. They have to live in different places throughout Thailand and work in low-paying jobs due to their lack of legal status and education. For this reason, SYP undertook to help these Shan migrants and IDPs.
