The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic and multi-faith humanitarian service movement working to bring help, hope, and love to people in the conflict areas of Burma, Iraq, Syria, and Sudan. Working alongside indigenous pro-democracy groups, FBR trains, supplies, and coordinates Ranger teams to help provide emergency medical care, shelter, food, clothing, and human rights documentation. The Free Burma Rangers formed in Burma in 1997 and they are composed of people from different ethnic groups providing direct relief to communities most affected by the results of oppression. These teams are trained to provide medical care and counseling, while documenting and reporting human rights violations. Since its formation, more than 1000 missions have been conducted to assist over 1,500,000 people. Together with other organizations, more than 100 Free Burma Ranger relief teams bring help to people facing oppression.
