During this trip that they visited rural schools and farms and saw the lack of resources for the children and wanted to give back in some way.The 3 friends discussed the idea of exporting Myanmar food to Europe whilst giving back to where the products are sourced. From there Bayin was born.Bayin believes a business is only great if it is great for all the community. Being a social enterprise is extremely important to all at Bayin and we will continue to source products responsibly whilst giving back.
