“Youths for Peaceful and Comprehensively Developed Society”
Gathering House Youth Empowerment Society is a dynamic, fast-growing, community-rooted youth organization working across Myanmar’s central dry zone. GHYES was founded in Magway on February 4, 2020, by a group of enthusiastic, passionate young people and student leaders. GHYES empowers young people to lead transformative efforts toward building a peaceful and comprehensively developed society.
Amid ongoing conflict, displacement, and a breakdown of trust in institutions since 2021, GHYES serves as a unifying platform for young people to come together as change agents—to strengthen the resilience of communities, foster inclusive development, and promote peaceful coexistence through people-centered, youth-led solutions.
We believe that youth, when meaningfully empowered, are critical drivers of transformation—not only for their communities but for Myanmar’s broader journey toward peace and comprehensive development.
