LAMTIB Social Enterprise Myanmar

To have a sustainable, long-lasting and effective positive impact on the less developed communities of Myanmar, LAMTIB SEM Co., Ltd. (LAMTIB Social Enterprise Myanmar) is founded in July 2017 as a for-profit social enterprise. The Enterprise aims to carry out the mission statement set forth by the LAMTIB Initiative sustainably and efficiently. The LAMTIB Initiative is a corporate social responsibility project (CSR) brought forward by Preco AS (Managing Partner of Elkem) & Partners. The Initiative aims to alleviate poverty of off-grid rural populations in developing nations through container-based enabling technologies (energy, communication, education, healthcare, sanitation, food production & clean water). We aim to provide qualified off-grid areas with the output from adequate technologies, as well as relevant training, in order to empower and enable hardworking and motivated people to leapfrog out of poverty. The concept shows how multiple coordinated parties can decrease poverty, whilst business simultaneously can open in new markets. The initiative is designed around delivery and functionality of relevant technologies in converted standardized shipping containers ("boxes"), and is therefore superior in cost/benefit to alternative solutions. A particular focus is on regions with unexploited natural resources, i.e. suitable for food production. This initiative is not based on selling technologies to rural villages, but to make available the output of same as a practical rapid kick-start.Although the LAMTIB initiative is generic in its broadly standardized and scalable solutions, hence suitable for developing countries world-wide, the initial focus is on seven South East Asian, and three South East African countries. Part of the LAMTIB concept can also be relevant for refugees.
