The business of shirt making

U Kyaw Tint has provided a home, food and education for his family of eight, created a living income for 30 employees, and put a shirt on the back of thousands of people in his community. 

Thanks to small loans from VisionFund, World Vision’s microfinance subsidiary, with advice and support from local World Vision staff, he has grown a successful business.

World Vision International President Kevin Jenkins writes about his experience meeting Mr Tint last month in Myanmar.
