Stories of change
Diversity and inclusion
Time to practice, and someone to learn from
Yay Kone Klan already liked drawing. Regular sessions with a volunteer artist gave her a chance to study it more closely.
Education guidance
A conversation with someone already in Germany
Aye had studied German, but she wasn't sure what she wanted to pursue. The application and visa process still brought questions.
Rural Book Clubs
It began by listening to his brother
Aung Thuta first joined a reading session by listening alongside his older brother. Now he is part of the group, reading and sharing ideas.
Where we work
FYM connects children and young people across Myanmar through in-person sessions where possible, online sessions when circumstances require, and partner organizations.
Our book clubs include children from rural villages and small towns. Our inclusion work includes Aye Myitta Disability Centre. Students studying abroad also share their experiences with young people at home.
Rural communities
Around 80% of children in the book clubs come from small towns and rural villages.
Partner organizations
Host organizations provide placements and decide which applicants they can accept.
Online connections
Reading sessions, arts mentoring and education conversations help people take part from different places.
Have something to share?
Your time, experience or a place to learn could help a young person take their next step.
