Donated by TEXTILE TRAILS

 

Textile Trails’ products are hand-woven in Laos and Cambodia. The artisans are empowered, not only by the income they earn, but by the value given to their traditional skills and heritage.

 

This piece was woven at the Stung Treng Women's Development Center in Camboidia. The centre states its purpose as “to assist in breaking the cycle of poverty and improve living standards by offering programs in literacy and health education, vocational training and employment.” You can see images and video of Cambodian weaving at
