Myanmar Maternal and Child Welfare Association

The Myanmar Maternal and Child Welfare Association (Burmese: မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ မိခင်နှင့်ကလေး စောင့်ရှောက်ရေး အသင်း, abbreviated MMCWA) is a non-governmental organisation in Burma which aims to protects mothers and their children in the country.

Although it dates back to 1948, it was supported by the Burmese government when it was established in its new centre in April 1991, particularly because the organisation aimed to cover much of the country in protection.

After Burma gained independence, maternal and child welfare associations were set up in towns and cities.

From the time independence was gained to 1964, up to 120 maternal and child welfare associations were formed.

The aim of the association is to contribute to the emergence of a peaceful modern developed nation by improving the health, education, social affairs and economic affairs of families including mother and children, with the priority towards the rural population.
