Women Transforming Myanmar strives to create a lasting impact for women-led businesses across the country by empowering them to become market leaders to build strong, sustainable enterprises.
At Women Transforming Myanmar, we empower women through targeted business training and consultancy, advocating for gender equality and professional growth. Our mission is to build a supportive network that nurtures women's leadership and innovation, fostering a society where every woman can succeed and inspire change.
Women Transforming Myanmar was founded in 2020 during the crisis of COVID-19. Due to COVID-19 and political upheaval in Myanmar, women face significant struggles, from managing family income under stressful conditions to seeking job opportunities and starting their own businesses. Many lack access to essential resources such as market information, training, and finance, making it incredibly challenging to survive or sustain. Recognizing these barriers, Ma Thiri Aung established Women Transforming Myanmar to create a supportive community where women can access the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to succeed.
At Women Transforming Myanmar, we offer leadership training, mentorship programs, business development services, and strategic partnerships with organizations like UN Women and UNDP. We have partnered with UN Women to deliver the Transformative Feminist Leadership program, empowering over 500 women with leadership training and support in 2023. We've also collaborated with UNDP to facilitate nearly 400 women entrepreneurs with essential business skills.
