ABOUT WAN MAI
Our Foundation & Purpose
Wan Mai is a social enterprise dedicated to collaborating with local artisans, brands, and entrepreneurs across Thailand and Myanmar. Aligned with the broader mission of Community Partners International (CPI), which focuses on health, nutrition, emergency response, and sustainable development, Wan Mai operates under the umbrella of sustainable development to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow, become self-reliant, and achieve long-term resilience.
Wan Mai addresses critical community needs while fostering economic and social impact. Our holistic approach combines capacity building, financial guidance, logistical support, and administrative assistance, enabling SMEs and their communities to thrive sustainably.
Through these efforts, Wan Mai contributes to lasting social and economic development, supporting underprivileged communities and promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
