Baan Handicrafts, based in Chiang Mai , Thailand , aims to provide good quality design to individual producers and/or small groups needing support and help. They design products in a variety of crafts as well as assist in securing market opportunities. Baan Handicrafts works to support families who have been affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS.
Baan Handicrafts is a programme aimed at helping people help themselves, using handicraft production to provide sustainable income for the marginalised of society, as well as individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
Baan Handicrafts keep up with current handicraft fashion to design and produce quality products that can be sold worldwide, as well as products that reflect the local community and Thai traditions.
Baan Handicrafts seek to support families affected by HIV/AIDS, who struggle daily to be financially secure, especially with young children. They particularly focus on empowering women, supporting their needs and the basic human right to education (through handicraft training), and the right to a livelihood (handicraft production).
Through this programme, they are growing in confidence and a positive outlook for themselves and their families. Helping people help themselves gives them a true sense of human dignity |
