We support families most in need
ZigWay is a social enterprise that aims to help people lift themselves out of poverty. We offer a monthly subscription service to ensure low income families can access household essentials affordably. We've already delivered enough food for 1.4 million meals with our service.
In these extraordinary times, we’ve dedicated ourselves to giving people an extra helping hand. We’re now co-operating with local community organisations in Yangon, Kachin State and Shan State to arrange in-kind and cash distribution to families suffering from economic hardships.
Our team is working tirelessly to battle stock shortages, labour scarcity, price hikes and safety concerns, but we are unrelenting in our desire to support people through this difficult period.
