We’re thrilled to share that WHOW’s handwoven textiles can now be found in-store at Golden Land Solidarity Collective in Chiang Mai!

By purchasing from their carefully curated selection, you're not just buying beautifully crafted goods; you're directly supporting livelihoods, mutual aid efforts, and social change in the region.

Each WHOW product is handwoven with 100% natural cotton using traditional looms, infused with the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar. Now, through Golden Land, we’re able to connect these crafts with a wider community that values ethical, sustainable, and meaningful products.

If you’re in Chiang Mai, drop by Golden Land to experience the beauty and purpose behind every piece. Together, we weave a future of solidarity, culture, and empowerment. 💛

'Blackpool arts company LeftCoast is celebrating cultural exchange through it’s latest project, The People’s Pantry, by bringing together communities from Myanmar and Mereside.

The initiative is an exchange pantry, which aims to playfully challenge the different ways Blackpool communities can share food and reduce food waste.

While being on opposite ends of the world, local volunteers from The People’s Pantry connected with WHOW, a social enterprise that works with the weaving community in Mandalay, Myanmar, through their shared love of organic materials; finding creative solutions to reduce the environmental impact of their projects; and developing self-sustainable communities and circular economies.'

Ma Wai, who has been the manager of the weaving workshop for 14 years is especially grateful, as she has seen first hand the impact the donations have made to families connected to the workshop.⁠

THANK YOU 💚�Not only were we able to support the families of the handweaving workshop but many more connected to WHOW. We could donate to the community fund of the cotton farmer village and support women of the Women’s Empowerment Center, who are a part of the sewing program. Read in detail how the donations were spent and how the remaining part will be invested during the transition stage from lockdown to opening up: https://www.whow.me/payin-to-stayin/⁠

DANK JE 💚�Naast de vrouwen (en families) van de handweverij was het ook mogelijk om andere gezinnen, via WHOW netwerk, te supporten. Er is aan het gemeenschapsfonds van het dorp van de katoenboeren gedoneerd. En er is financiële steun voor voedsel gegeven aan de vrouwen van het Women’s Empowerment Centre. Dit centrum in Mandalay helpt kwetsbare vrouwen en straatkinderen. WHOW werkt samen met de vrouwen van het trainingsprogramma voor naailes.�Op onze pagina lees je hoe en aan wie de donaties zijn verdeeld en hoe het resterende bedrag zal worden geïnvesteerd in de transitiefase van lockdown naar heropening: https://www.whow.me/nl/payin-to-stayin/⁠

Thank you for keeping things rolling in an empty workshop 💚⁠
In just a few days we have raised over €2,000 for the Pay’in to Stay’in campaign. We won’t make the families wait to receive the support they need.⁠
Tomorrow the third round of donations will be given to the women of the weaving workshop and their families.⁠
THANK YOU for the Support & Positive Energy 🌿⁠

THANK YOU Friends of WHOW 💚⁠
⁠
As you may know, we reinvest 10% of every product sold back into the communities we work with. And W(H)OW!⁠
Together , we were able to start the ‘SPREAD THE WORD – NOT THE VIRUS’ awareness campaign, to donate hospital suits to Kandaw Nadi Hospital and to make a start with the fund PAY’in to STAY’in.⁠
⁠
PAY’in to Stay’in supports the women we work with & hopefully many more! A lot of people in Myanmar are dependent on a daily wage and are now struggling to get food on the table for their families.⁠
⁠
Our aim is to help these families meet the basic needs during the extremely difficult time of the forced lockdown. - Are you in? Thank you!⁠

#STAYATHOME IS NOT JUST A HASTAG

အိမ်မှာနေပါ လို့ ပြောတာဟာ hashtag တစ်ခုတည်းအတွက်မဟုတ်ပါဘူး ဒါဆိုဘာလို့လဲ ?
သင် အိမ်မှာနေခြင်းက သင်နဲ့အတူ သင်ချစ်တဲ့သူတွေကို ရောဂါပိုးကူးစက် ခြင်းမှ ကာကွယ်နိုင်ပါတယ်။ ကျန်းမာရေးဌာနမှ ထုတ်ပြန်ထားသော လိုက်နာ ကျင့်သုံးရမည့် အမူအကျင့် များကို လိုက်နာ ကျင့်သုံးခြင်းဖြင့် အသက်များစွာကယ်တင်နိုင်ပါတယ် ။
ဒါကြောင့် မန္တလေးသူ/သား တို့ရေ!
ကျနော်တို့နဲ့အတူ ကျနော်တို့ ချစ်ရတဲ့ မြို့အတွက် ဝိုင်းဝန်းကူညီကြရအောင် ။ သတင်းစကားကိုသာ ဖြန့်ဝေပါ ဗိုင်းရပ်များ မဖြန့် ပါနဲ့ ။

#STAYATHOME IS NOT JUST A HASHTAG

WHY? If you stay at home you protect not only yourself but everyone you love. You help the healthcare system & your behaviour CAN SAVE LIVES.
Let's find a way Mandalay. 💚 Spread the word, not virus.

Ps: Thank you for all the shares.
Keep on sharing, keep on caring 🇲🇲 #myanmar #corona #stayathome #staysafe #mandalay #spreadthewordnotthevirus #covid_19 #covıd19 #covid19myanmar
