Camacrafts

who we are

CAMACRAFTS is a non-profit, self-help project which markets handicrafts made by Lao artisans. We strive to provide a sustainable method of income for village women that would otherwise be unavailable. Our products are entirely handmade using traditional patterns and techniques, which helps preserve the traditional needlework skills of Hmong and Lao women such as appliqué, cross stitch, embroidery and batik.

what we do

Providing employment for more than 250 women, an estimated 70% of women who sew for us provide the only cash earnings for their families. Money earned from the handicrafts is largely used to send their children to school, and to provide food and medicine for their families.
