CIDKP is a cross-border humanitarian organization which was established in 1998 and provides humanitarian assistance, mine risk education and prosthesis, conducts capacity building trainings to people in remote areas, documents and publicizes the problems faced by Karen IDP communities in Myanmar with the aim to reduce their suffering. CIDKP activities in Kyauky Kyi include providing food and non-food items to the twelve villages of Khe Der village track. This project aims at providing essential assistance to conflict-affected IDPs, to support trust building and dialogue with political stakeholders at the local level in order to increase confidence in the cease fire and to expand humanitarian space.
