CHA Service

Cambodian Handicraft Association ( CHA ) has the Tailoring and Weaving workshops for Landmine and Polio Disabled Cambodians.  They are located in Phnom Penh City, and Siem Reap Provinces.

CHA Workshops in Siem Reap Province share space with AFS Souvenir Handicrafts Shop ( Association Francaise de Solidarite ).  The disabled artisans produce Cambodian silk products that would be available for export to foreign countries and for tourists who have currently visited the magnificent temples, northern part of Phnom Penh.  That is the tourist site which has been very famous in Cambodia..

* The production artisans at CHA workshops in Phnom Penh produce silk items which can be available for export in Foreign countries and in the other outlets in Phnom Penh. CHA

Cambodian Handicraft Association in Phnom Penh was established in 2000, in Tuk Vill, Siem Reap, established in 1995, and in Preah Dark, Siem Reap, established in 2000 to service Cambodia's landmine disabled and victims of polio.  Tailors and weavers spend one year at Skill Training Project in Phnom Penh, and then they work in the production workshops where they produce most of the items you'll find in the price list.  Other items are produced by disabled graduates from who sell their handicrafts through CHA showroom.  The vast majority of items are made from Skill Training Program hand-woven Cambodian silk, an art you are helping to rejuvenate and preserve through your purchase of these products.

Some of the CHA graduates work with a master silk weaver from southwest area of Phnom Penh.  Weavers have produced both traditional Khmer silk fabrics, scarves and cotton scarves.

The silk fabric is woven by disabled and poor women who use traditional hand and foot operated located.

CHA Workshops have recently opened tailoring and weaving shops where the graduates can hone their skills and learn more about the operations of business.  A shop opens to the public displays many creative products made by the Landmine and Polio artisans.  This work allows the disabled to experience the confidence and satisfaction that comes from being a valuable participant in a successful enterprise.
