Doh Eain (Burmese: ဒို့အိမ်) is a placemaking social enterprise based in Yangon, Myanmar.[1][2] Founded by Emilie Röell in 2017, Doh Eain focuses on urban regeneration and heritage conservation, leading projects to clean up trash-filled alleyways for conversion to playgrounds, and restoring heritage apartments.[3][4][5] Doh Eain has also led the creation of parks and public spaces in Yangon.[6][7]
In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Doh Eain launched a survey of 2,000 street vendors in Yangon to collect data on the city's informal economy, and launched a crowd funding campaign to support street vendors.[8][9][10]
Doh Eain works with a range of partners, for example UN-Habitat[11]
