U Ko Ko Gyi is from Taungoo and is physical impairment as a result of a stroke. His main source of income is small scale farming.

However, due to muscle weakness of the limbs, U Ko Ko Gyis  is unable to hold farming tools for extended periods of time. 

Through the 'Economic Empowerment Project' he received several adapted farming tools. These are significantly lighter in use and easier to handle. U Ko Ko Gyi is back to work and able to provide a livelihood for himself and his family.
