Social Innovation Support Unit Launch
Enhancing Income Generation of women from villages
Most of the women in villages have no regular income and they spend their time on household works. Thus, if they have regular income in a sustainable way, they can solve their social issues in their family. Thus, TCU SISU supports the project on enhancing the income generation of women in villages. For this project, Bayat village, Tanatpin village, Saylonegyi village, Chaungsaut village, and Bottapyawkan Village are selected. All these villages are located in Thanlyin Township. Target participants will be 60 women from selected five villages, who have low income and are interested in hand-made product. TCU SISU will provide the training on making Nylon Flower Making. In addition, TCU SISU will support the marketing sources for the Nylon flowers made by the women. In Myanmar, Nylon flowers are marketable for decoration of living room, table and for the event of graduation, wedding reception, etc. How it is marketable depends on the creation and innovation of flower makers. The more innovation, the more market for the product.
As part of this project, TCU SISU provided the training for trainers who will disseminate the knowledge and technique in selected villages. The training was conducted in TCU SISU Classroom from 28th May 2018 to 31st May 2018. Totally, 28 teachers are participated in this training. The training was conducted in co-operation with LEORA Social Enterprise, one of the stakeholders of TCU SISU. The trained teachers will conduct the training in selected villages at the last week of June.
