REHAB CRAFT CAMBODIA

Description

Everyone who works at RCC has some form of physical disability, from the guard at the gate on up to the co-directors of the organization. Rehab Craft Cambodia is a non-profit, local fair trade NGO that has been operating since 1995. RCC was originally funded by a New Zealand organization, but has been financially independent and a certified member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) [formerly The International Fair Trade Association] since 2004. Today, Rehab Craft Cambodia continues striving to see Cambodians with disabilities and marginalized people improve their standard of living and be recognized as valuable, contributing members of society.

During my one-year assignment (2011-2012) with MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) as a YAMENer (Young Anabaptist Mennonite Exchange Network) I worked as their Design Advisor, helped them to understand better the current trend, elaborating with Khmer culture and style, also equipped them with the marketing strategy including social media and product photography training, so they can have better skill sets to be more independent.
