New Recruits for 2023
Since our last newsletter, SISU have welcomed over 160 new trainees.
Up until now, SISU’s catchment area has been Hlaing Thar Yar. In December, we extended our outreach to Shwepyitha Township. This is a new and exciting challenge for us.
Each trainee is given access to health services, (including vaccinations and eye tests) and a hot nutritious daily meal on joining the program.

Alternative Livelihood Opportunities for Women
This month SISU launched an exciting new initiative designed to introduce women to vocations traditionally held by men. We have been collaborating with new partners such as Exera, Mitsubishi Motors, and Nordic Group to develop a host of new opportunities and training packages including fork lift operators, car workshop operations and drivers to name a few.
Pocket is a loyalty app where users can register and collect points based on purchases at various Yoma outlets. The Pocket project team aims to strengthen the brand by introducing instore promotional activity. SISU has collaborated with Pocket to take 22 SISU graduates and train them to become Brand Ambassadors. You can witness our graduates in action in many KFC, YKKO and Pun Hlaing Hospitals throughout Yangon.
SISU Staff
