Located in the outskirts of Yangon, the townships of Dala and Seikyi Khanaungdho are home to some 176,600 inhabitants, living in an extremely precarious socio-economic situation. The townships can only be accessed by boat; no bridge links them to the capital. Particular environmental conditions (swamps and islands) complicate attempts at urban and economic development and favour the recrudescence of waterborne diseases.
