Lao Disabled Women's Development Center provides support and advocacy for disabled women in Lao PDR. Their activities include vocational training and employment opportunities in sewing, weaving, hand-made paper products and computer literacy.

Our products are locally made with natural materials by the hands of artisans we trust. Slight variation in color, texture, and pattern are common and are celebrated, as products may be produced by several different women.

We trade with and provide training for many of our artisans to improve their skills and increase income for their families. Because so many of our artisans live in remote communities, our efforts help provide access to markets their personal networks are unable to reach.
