KACHIN STATE—In Burma’s northernmost state, 44-year-old Ywal Nu once supported her children by farming a plot of land along the fertile Irrawaddy River. In 2010, the mother of seven was forced to relocate as part of efforts to develop the Chinese-backed Myitsone Dam, but was told she would receive compensation—including a new house, 100,000 kyats ($105) and two acres of land—so she could continue farming in a new location.
