The inception of CAD organization

CAD (Country Agency for Rural Development) is a local non-governmental organization. Its inception is propelled by the occurrence of catastrophes from 1987 to 2002 in Lautu region (one of 5 big ethnics in Thang Tlang Township) where no UN agency or non-governmental organization has any development programs. Severe dysentery and food shortages were happened in our region. 75 people died of dysentery in Hnaring village in 1987.

A young girl, who was a younger sister of Joseph Kung Za Hmung, died of excessive nose bleeding in 1994. In 2002, more than 8 villages (about 4000 people) faced severe food shortages and drought. Many parents stopped their children’s education.Such catastrophes hereby forced us to find humanitarian aids from different agencies and authority which however refused to intervene the suffering of our local people due to lack of accessibility.

CAD is always grateful to our beloved and venerable Archbishop Charles Bo who is joining in and giving us a helping hand to kick-start progress of people in rural areas.I am very happy to acknowledge his paternal assistance to our programs and CAD recognizes him as our "Patron, co -founder and consultant ".

Annual meeting of CAD was done from on 9-15, November 2008 in head-office of CAD in Yangon.

We are convinced that development ultimately originates in
people themselves, and embraces all areas of life as a
complete whole (including e.g. economic activity, people’s
treatment of their fellow humans and the environment,
religion, cultural activities, etc.). Consequently we design
our assistance such as to strengthen self-help, and to help
enable people to shape their own lives, both as individuals
and communities, as they themselves wish.
