Kachin Alliance Inaugural Fundraising Gala
This year marks 15 years since armed conflict resumed in the Kachin region in Burma. The resumed war has displaced tens of thousands of civilians, leaving many families in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Proceeds from our inaugural gala will support internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Kachin region.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds will fund our youth and education development initiatives. We believe that the future of Kachin advocacy depends on investing in the next generation—equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to serve their community.
Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring a special dinner of Burmese and Kachin cuisine, a silent auction, and a vibrant cultural performance as we come together to support humanitarian relief and empower future leaders.

SILENT AUCTION
We will be auctioning a painting by Ko Z (Z Hkawng Gyung), a renowned Kachin painter and installation artist. Originally from Taunggyi, Shan Sate. Ko Z is known for work that powerfully engages with political and social issues, particularly the experiences of the Kachin people. His art reflects on the long-running conflict in Kachinland, where civil war has persisted since Burma’s independence in 1948 and intensified after fighting resumed in 2011.
Ko Z has participated in more than 40 group exhibitions in Burma and internationally, and held his first solo exhibition in Singapore in 2018. His work offers a compelling artistic witness to the resilience and struggles of the Kachin people, making this painting a meaningful and unique piece for collectors and supporters alike.
