OUR PEOPLE
Tin Ma Ma Oo
BA Double Major in Political Science and Management,
BA Hons in Political Science.
Tin Ma Ma Oo is the Director of Independent Project Workers Limited (IPW). She holds a BA (Double Major) in Political Science and Management, and a BA (Hons) in Political Science. IPW was established in August 2019 as an independent project workers service, specifically for the refugee and migrant communities.
Tinmama has 20 years of experience working within the refugee and migrant community development sector, specifically within refugee resettlement. Her parents left Myanmar as political refugees and resettled in New Zealand when she was 13 years old. Since then Tinmama experienced service gaps and supported those gaps as a volunteer, within her capability.
Having seen that many skilled migrants and refugees' qualifications are not recognised, this results in a lack of white collar employment opportunities. To live their life with purpose and passion, most will end up volunteering long term service which puts financial burden on themselves and their families.
IPW was created to recruit skilled migrants and refugees who can be an asset to a project team within the community development projects, assisting individuals, NGOs, and government organisations.
