The clinics treat roughly 3,000 to 4,000 patients each year suffering from a variety of diseases; malaria, anemia, respiratory infection, parasites and diarrheal diseases.\u00a0 The clinics are fully supported by Partners Relief and Development through sourcing and transporting medicine and medical supplies, ongoing training programs for clinic staff and through supporting the emergence of a village-based public health system.<\/p>\n<p>The clinics are one way of giving hope to the Karen people. <em>Hope<\/em> that they will live another day. A <em>hope<\/em> that will be instilled in the Karen people. <em>Hope<\/em> for an end. The war has been active for over a century\u2014war of murder, rape, burning of villages, starvation and diseases.\u00a0 Yes, this war has been active for over a century; yet the media rarely covers it. This should not stop you; CWR gives you ways to stay active. Here are a few\u2014donate, prayer and reading Burma news through blogs, Facebook, Newsletters and CWR\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>With your support, we can overcome this war of pain. CWR and Partners Relief and Development hope to save more lives of children under 5 through education and prompt appropriate care. In addition, communities will be transformed through the strengthening of healthy behaviors. In areas where clinics have been established, we find the rate of malaria decreases dramatically. In addition, the percentage of homes that use latrines is increasing steadily. Healthy children can attend school and educated children can improve their communities in countless ways.<\/p>\n<p>These are goals that are accessible; we need your continuous support. So please continue to pray and support the Karen people. Thank you for your support and love for the Karen people.
