Stronghold Doubles Ambulance Fleet in 2024

Please Note: These newsletters may contain written descriptions or images of the violence, disease, and injuries our teams confront on a regular basis. Please read at your own discretion.

We’re happy to announce we achieved our 2024 goal of doubling our ambulance fleet in Burma!

We now have 8 ambulances, 1 boat ambulance, 2 backhoes (for maintaining roads), and 1 mobile mechanic truck serving families in war-torn Karen State, Burma.

This expansion means we can provide service to a larger area, respond faster to emergencies, and ultimately save more lives. Every day, our dedicated ambulance crews, US staff, and field operators are working hard to ensure that those in need aren’t left waiting.

As the only ambulance service in this remote region of Burma with hundreds of thousands of people, we’re directing our resources where it’s most needed.

Going into 2025, we’re now better equipped than ever before to provide life-saving emergency care in Burma — no matter the obstacles.

Thank you to all of our supporters for making this possible!
