Hailing from the southern part of Myanmar’s eastern highlands, the 30-year old ethnic Shan woman, founded the Brighter Future Myanmar Foundation in 2008. Since then, the foundation has been engaged in social and humanitarian assistance activities across the country with a primary focus on her native state. The highlights of the efforts include digging wells in remote areas in Shan State where locals often suffer acute water shortages in summer each year, while also embarking on reforestation missions in the areas. In collaboration with Smile Asia, BFM has also brought smiles back to children with cleft lips and palates.

As an executive director of one of Myanmar’s leading banks, Kanbawza Bank (KBZ),  Nang Lang Kham was named “The Promising Young Banker in Myanmar” by The Asian Banker magazine in 2017 among other local and international prizes.
