Courage and boldness are hidden treasures that are often buried within us and sometimes it is only in the darkest moments that we can find them to rise up against injustice, pain, hurt, and shame.  

The Hidden Treasure collection brings to light Mya Mya’s story, who in the face of injustice and trials, stood up for truth. 

At thirteen, Mya Mya was sent to a factory to support her impoverished family. While there, she was lured into a web of lies and was sold to a man who bought her virginity. After this, a series of tragic events befell her. In her darkest moments, she dreamed of freedom, she held onto a hope that one day she would be liberated. Her story of escape sparks hope in so many women who have faced similar exploitation and distortions of reality. Mya Mya continues to remind us that hope does not disappoint.

In 2014 Eden began its programs in Myanmar, a nation that has been a hotbed for human trafficking for years. Political instability, natural disasters, and internal ethnic infighting have led to a devastating lack of opportunity for the people of Myanmar.

Poverty and political unrest are at the heart of Myanmar's human trafficking crisis, which has only grown more severe over recent years. The economic collapse, brought on by the pandemic and political crisis, has exacerbated the level of human trafficking and the need for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other not-for-profit organizations like Eden to fill this void and provide essential support to victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
