Yangon Broom
Office & Home Cleaning Service
Yangon Broom was founded in 2016 in order to give impoverished, under-educated and disadvantaged women in Myanmar a chance for fair and safe employment. Our Founder, Kayson Yang, understands the lack of opportunities for women in this country and aims to end the poverty cycle by empowering our cleaners with the training and skills that they need to succeed and eventually become financially independent.
Apart from the training we provide, our cleaners have received comprehensive housekeeping and ironing training from a five-star hotel in The Accor Group of hotels and we are continuously providing our cleaners with regular training they need.
We provide day-to-day Office & Home cleaning services for janitorial & personal needs.
Well-Trained cleaners are one-call away from you to meet your needs & we combine that with the greatest customer service team and the best standard of operation to deliver you the greatest value.

Welcome to Kalpha, a community platform where everyone is empowered to teach and learn skills, knowledge and real-life experiences.

Sharing sessions can be arranged anywhere and anytime between learners and sharers.
The most important aspect that we bring to you is the quality of the sharing sessions, not the sharer’s qualifications. Furthermore, we ensure that it’s budget-friendly by capping sharing session prices and encourage people to share their knowledge and skills for free if possible. Learners have the option to reward their sharers based on their own discretion after every successful sharing session concludes.
