What We Do
Development of Ethnic Youths
Since 2019, Braveheart has been spreading awareness in Kengtung, Eastern Shan State, to support the growth and well-being of ethnic communities. We are committed to continuing our work to help ethnic youth gain the knowledge, skills, and vocational training they need to grow and succeed.
Legal identity is the basic requirement for everyone to enjoy their fundamental citizenship rights. Lacking civil documents affects in one’s daily life including freedom of movement, access to public services and many other things. Braveheart Foundation tries to assist undocumented people to access legal identity through community-based paralegals in project areas. It also provides legal counseling through social media to promote public awareness and understand the application process.
Promoting legal awareness over the importance of legal identity
Legal identity is the basic requirement to enjoy the citizenship rights and public services including banking, communication, healthcare, education and freedom of movement, etc. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of that linkage and tend to overlook applying those documents. Braveheart paralegals are trying to bring their attention using several methodologies.
