CHA

Cambodian Handicraft Association is a local non-organization for people with disabilities suffering from Polio and Landmine.

It trains them on how to learn tailoring subjects, social work, and get the exact skills to improve their life to get new skills. Cambodian Handicraft Association (CHA). Is an NGO set up in 2000 by a local group of Khmer people who realised how difficult it is to obtain any sort of employment as a disabled woman in Cambodia. The organisation offers women with disabilities from landmines or polio a

new skills base which will eventually allow them to return to their communities and lead an independent life. They produce a range of completely hand made Cambodian silk goods. The products are absolutely beautiful and the majority of the silk is sourced from a local village, where it is all hand woven. The costs of running the project are covered by selling the artists' work in the shop, they receive no grants or aid.

Our Story

The main goals of Cambodian Handicraft Association for Landmine and Polio disabled (CHA) are new skills and services meet the market demand and are effectively used and applied by graduates who graduated from skill training program and they have not been employed, and the trainees who have been taught basic skills, and we try to find the ways to help them work in the workshops and practice their skills for six months to one-year period. We act like this because we think that the integration of the disabled into mainstream society is prioritized, and business as well as employment opportunities for the graduates and trainees are supported. It was only months ago when they were still on the streets and markets. No hope, No education, No home, No Skills, No money, No friends. But now they have begun to learn skills and produce handcrafts for the markets of the world instead of begging for money on the streets and markets. As for CHA director, we try to look for funds or any assistance to strengthen the program and for ways of being self-sufficient. At the moment the program depends on funding from outside sources.

Independence, confidence and integration into society will help the trainees and graduates by returning them with a skill to the rural sectors and therefore speed up the process of development. We really require funds from your organization to organize and run the programs for the persons with disabilities.
