Our Story
One man’s passion to bring hope to his people
In the early 2000s, Dr. Sasa set out to bring primary healthcare, education, and food security to Chin State, a impoverished region in Western Myanmar. Growing up, he witnessed forced labour, violence, and deaths from preventable illnesses and childbirth.
The first child from his village to attend high school in Yangon, he was later funded by his community who sold their livestock to study in India and abroad. Despite learning three new languages, he graduated at the top of his medical class.
Driven to give others similar opportunities, Dr. Sasa founded Health & Hope in 2009. He led the organisation until 2021, when he stepped down to pursue a political career.
