The Women Behind The Leaf

The resilient women of Pinlaung township, including single mothers and widows, have transformed significant challenges into opportunities for growth. Through Behind The Leaf’s empowering initiatives, they’ve secured stable income, developed valuable skills, and built a supportive network that strengthens both their families and their futures.

From coffee farm managers and roasters to bookkeepers and quality control supervisors, the women of BTL have established themselves in every aspect of coffee production. Their journey from facing economic hardship to achieving financial independence showcases the transformative power of opportunity and community support.

By partnering with BTL, we’re proud to support these remarkable women as they continue to shape the future of specialty coffee in Myanmar while building better lives for themselves and their families.
