Aim
Peace Handicrafts and Silks is an independent cooperative of landmine and
polio disabled persons producing high quality handmade products for export
around the world.
History & Philosophy
Peace Handicrafts and Silks was formed in February 2003 by a group of
producers who received training at the Wat Than Skills Training Center for
Landmine and Polio Disabled.
Peace contributes to social development by providing training and employment
opportunities for landmine victims, polio disabled persons and the
underprivileged. Their training has enabled them to become self-supporting,
confident artisans who see themselves as individuals with abilities that
contribute to the development of Cambodia.
All Peace products are made from traditional hand-woven silk, an ancient
process untouched by industrial development. Peace prizes the high-quality
of its products and each is carefully handcrafted by highly skilled
artisans. Peace was awarded the 2004 UNESCO “Seal of Excellence” for
Handicraft Products.
