YANGON - Swedish fashion chain Lindex has teamed up with WaterAid to launch a joint project to increase the access to clean drinking water and sanitation for women and girls in the textile industry in Myanmar.
During the two-year project, clean drinking water facilities and proper toilets in communities and schools will be installed in Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, the capital of the Yangon Region and the former national capital.
The programme, which aims to empower women and girls in communities where textile workers live, is a continuation of Lindex’s and WaterAid’s ongoing collaboration in Bangladesh.
