In Kayah State, farmers of Noe Koe San Pya Village, Daw Saw Le Village and Noe Koe Ywar Ma Village in Loikaw Township are facing challenges for transporting their agricultural produces to the markets. Students in those villages are experiencing difficulties to attend their school because there is no good village-to-village connection road.
