This month the spotlight is on Lin Kham, a young Myanmar role model who aims to achieve education equality for migrant youth. Lin Kham is a dedicated change maker in the world of education for Myanmar migrants in Thailand. She needs financial support to finish her Ma in Social Science, so that she can improve educational access for migrants.
Challenge
"Most women feel impassioned and motivated to take part in the struggle to gain human rights for people of Myanmar. However, they feel that without education they are pushed back into traditional roles that do not allow them the freedom and mobility to contribute to this struggle."
Long-Term Impact
The long-term aim is to assist women from marginalized communities in Myanmar into obtaining positions of authority within policy making or influential organizations so that they then can empower other women and their communities, on their own terms.
