Faces of Change: Saw Eh Say

Saw Eh Say, an EarthRights School alumnus, is a land rights activist from Kayah State, Myanmar and co-founded Kayah EarthRights Action Network (KEAN). Saw Eh Say has seen earth rights abuses committed in his home community for decades, including land grabs to destructive mining projects.

Through his organization, he empowers his community and educates them about land laws, and hopes to stop the cycle of abuse and strengthen legal support for communal land use practices.
