About
Building resilient communities through partnership and community-led action
Who We Are
FIN Myanmar (Friend in Need Myanmar) is a national not-for-profit civil-society organization based in Yangon, Myanmar. Established in August 2023 and registered with the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA), we work primarily with vulnerable communities in peri-urban Yangon and informal settlements.
To improve quality of life by strengthening livelihoods, improving access to basic services (health, WASH, education), and building resilience to natural and human-made shocks.
Communities in Myanmar where children, young people and families live safely and with dignity.
Our work spans multiple interconnected focus areas: WASH and environmental sanitation; health and nutrition; child protection, play and children’s mental health; livelihoods, youth entrepreneurship and vocational training; and menstrual health and hygiene.
Through community resource centers and partnerships with leading organizations, we have reached over 28,000 people in peri-urban Yangon in 2025, providing integrated support that addresses the root causes of vulnerability and builds lasting resilience.
“Every child deserves a safe place to play, learn, and dream. Through our community-led approach, we’re not just providing services—we’re building lasting partnerships that empower families to create their own solutions.”
