Daw Nyunt Nyunt Yee runs a guitar building shop in Yangon, Myanmar with a loan she received from BRAC for supplies. The air is thick and smells of chemicals as the heavy varnish, paint and glue needs to be heated over a hot fire, with no ventilation in the room crowded with workers. About sixteen people work here and they can make about 200 guitars a week, the dealer pays about $15 per piece. She makes about $400 per week take home pay. She has one eight-year-old child, a student.
