Why Myanmar?
Myanmar is a country with 50 million people coming out of 60 years of self-isolation. Myanmar is young, with 45% of the population under the age of 25. The ethnic diversity of the country is both a challenge, and potentially its greatest strategic asset. While there is currently strong optimism that a tide of change is coming over Myanmar, there is still much that needs to be done.

Grinding Poverty
Decades of mismanagement of the country’s economy have made Myanmar one of the poorest countries in Asia. Today only 1/4 have access to electricity.

Lack of Capital
Those who want to start businesses are held back by a lack of access to cash. Some loan sharks and pawn shops even charge usurious rates of upwards of 40% interest per month.

Broken Education
Rote memorization and untrained teachers have led to a broken education system. Only 1 in 10 students who start school passes high school graduation. Creative thinking is de-emphasized.
