A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MANG THA

Mang Tha is a Burmese Chin refugee women-led empowerment group under a federation known as TANMA that seeks to improve the living of the women, and also to create safe spaces for self-empowerment through trainings on livelihood projects. Mang Tha has been established since 2006. 

This event will be held as detailed:

Date:    26 November 2016

Time:    3:00pm to 6:00pm

Venue: 10, Jalan 1/77B, Pudu (Behind Berjaya Times Square)

 

As we are looking to raise some funds for our activities in the year ahead, we have some fun activities in store for you! All proceeds will go directly to the women in Mang Tha, to help support the Burmese women refugees in Kuala Lumpur.
