How We Work

The Asia Peace and Education Foundation is registered as a non-profit organisation in Australia *.  We are associated with the Global Development Group (GDG) that is signatory to the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and endorsed by AusAID (the development arm of the Australian Government).  Money raised from donations is channelled directly to our partners in country with a 5% fee for administration and financial oversight for the GDG.  The foundation is staffed entirely by volunteers.  APEF has an international network of supporters and friends who contribute to Phaung Daw Oo and other partner organisations in Burma.  APEF has a small board of management consisting of individuals from various backgrounds (international development, health, business, education, research and the disability field) who have all been touched by Burma in some way through work or travel.  They recognise that solutions to the country's ongoing problems will only be solved if future generations have access to quality education and are encouraged to think creatively and develop initiative.  Partner organisation in Burma provide APEF with regular reports on activities and finance and an APEF volunteer visits programs at least once each year for monitoring purposes. APEF carefully tracks the political climate in the country and ensures that donations get to where they are needed most.
