Free Burma Alliance (FBA) is a coalition of human rights and humanitarian relief organizations dedicated to raising awareness and bringing freedom to the ill-treated and oppressed women and children of Burma. FBA's goal is to build awareness and create a structure that provides medical care, food shelter and education on a continual basis to the maltreated women and children of Burma.

The Free Burma Alliance is a coalition of human rights and relief organizations providing aid and succor to both indigenous Burmese and refugees, such as the orphanage in Mae Sot, Thailand.

The Alliance bears witness to the long misrule of the Burmese government and its abuses and violence against its own people.

Through activism, debate, and fund raising, the Alliance promotes democracy in Burma and an end to the persecution of its peoples.

FBA partners with numerous organizations that support its mission. These include Mae Tao Clinic, National Council of the Union of Burma, Heroes Serving Humanity, National League for Democracy-Liberated Area, Burma Point, Backpack Health Workers Team, Burma Global Action Network, and Amnesty International USA.
