The village entrepreneur

Si Thu Phyo's life changed when he received livelihood support and business training from the ILO. With this help, he transitioned from fisherman to water-selling entrepreneur in his village. He now dreams of pursuing a mechanics course and building a long-term business career, determined to create a better future for himself.

This video was produced by the ILO’s partner in Labutta Township as part of capacity building support to produce impact stories of project beneficiaries.

The project is supporting vulnerable children above the minimum legal working age to access skills training and youth employment, protecting them from hazardous work.
