Around the World Box

Store your souvenirs in the Around the World Box from Mai Vietnamese Handicrafts. Artisans in Vietnam are reducing waste by using innovative materials such as upcycled magazines and paper discarded from printing companies. They cut the paper into flat strips, dip them in a glue mixture and hang them to dry. Then they re-wet the strips and coil them into form.

THE MAKERS

Mai Vietnamese Handicrafts is a nonprofit organization that provides income generation and marketing services to Vietnamese artisans. Mai Handicrafts runs several craft production projects and markets the work of numerous other craft producers. During recent years, Mai Handicrafts has established itself as the primary marketing agent for artisans from neglected families and women. It practices a model of social development in which social service cannot be separated from economic self-reliance. Mai Handicrafts sales fund various community development activities, including clean water projects, vocational training equipment purchase and teacher wage subsidies. Mai Handicrafts artisans receive social and health insurance, and can apply for scholarship funds. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Mai Handicrafts since 1994.
