Supporting artisans in Myanmar and Thailand

We are a non-profit collective of artisans based in Thailand and Myanmar.

We sell locally-made goods in order to tell our stories, to build solidarity between communities, and to support our livelihoods. A portion of sales profits also goes toward humanitarian work in Myanmar.
Thank you for visiting!

Solidarity Can Change the World

We work with community-minded artisans to sell goods and support grassroots projects and mutual aid efforts in Myanmar and Thailand.

Creating a new economy

Our collective is filled with people who want to build a better future. We sell their goods in order to support their livelihoods as they work for social change in their communities.

Prioritizing Women

Women are the frontline fighters for social change, and are too often excluded from decisions that impact them most. The majority of the artists in our collective are women-led initiatives.

Shared Stories, Shared Struggles

Our collective members are from Myanmar and Thailand. We seek to bring different communities together through art and goods.

Why Are We Here?

Ever since the Myanmar military regime took power in the 2021 coup, the economy of Burma/Myanmar has been in a tailspin. Golden Land started in 2023 in response to the growing need for livelihood support for Myanmar communities.
We have to struggle too hard here. Without you, we couldn't make much profit. I feel much relieved because I can make jobs for my staff in this awful situation in our country."
