Sanon Restaurant is a not-for-profit social enterprise operated by the Myanmar Youth Development Institute (MYDI), aiming to change the lives of disadvantaged youths in Myanmar.
Each year, up to 30 youths (between 17 and 23 years old) from across Myanmar join Sanon Restaurant on a 12-month vocational training program, before securing employment in the hospitality and tourism sectors. They are then monitored for a further two years to ensure that they settle well into their new lives.
