Craftworks Cambodia

Back to Artisans page

Cambodia and Cambodians have suffered for decades as a result of war. It is still recovering from the atrocities of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime of the 1970’s. About a third of Cambodia’s population lives below the national poverty level as a result of this turmoil. 

Craftworks Cambodia was established to provide market access for Cambodian artisans. The sale of these goods will help keep families together with food on their table.  A liveable and reliable income is especially important for women as it allows them to raise healthy babies and children and provide for their future.  These Cambodian craft  items are skilfully made, beautiful and clever. 

Living in an underprivileged community approximately 30 minutes from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, artisans make jewelry from recycled bomb shells and bullets. These artisans use bomb casings left over from Cambodia's wartime three decades ago.

These artisans skilfully mold bomb shells into beautiful jewelry pieces. With the support of Craftworks Cambodia, the artisans generate an income that will provide their families and their communities the chance at a better future. Through Craftworks Cambodia, the artisans make a fair wage for their work and receive support for education and training in the communities in Cambodia.
