The WFD team and the national YWCA of Myanmar have met 120 women in Hmawbi(Small township in Yangon state) to do a survey regarding their general living condition and their needs for vocational skill training. Also, the team has met a number of stakeholders who would affect building a women's vocational training center, such as Women Development Center run by Yangon city government and Pann Nann Ein, a social enterprise that works with disabled producers. Seoul YWCA hopes to understand what the women in Yangon wants for their capacity development through the assessment procedures. Seoul YWCA specially thanks to the National YWCA of Myanmar for their great efforts to coordinate all of this.
