Originally a project of Save the Children Myanmar, DAWN began providing loans to low-income women in peri-urban areas of Yangon in 2002. DAWN became an independent microfinance company in 2015, and now serves over 100,000 clients in five regions of Myanmar. DAWN is licensed by Myanmar’s Financial
Regulatory Department to provide credit to small business, educational, and agricultural purposes.
DAWN's Mission is to provide a wide range of high-quality financial services to the underserved, reaching low-income people, micro entrepreneurs, and small enterprises across Myanmar.
Our Vision is to be the best microfinance institution in Myanmar, improving the lives of the families we serve.
Our Values are Respect, Excellence, Innovation, and Passion for Social Change.
Seeking to expand the availability of high-quality, affordable, and appropriate services for Myanmar's financially excluded, DAWN provides group-guaranteed loans, interest-bearing savings accounts, and financial literacy training to low-income women who own and operate their own business.
