Economic self-sufficiency is a foundational principle to Thai Village.  Individuals we work with who express special interest in particular crafts or trades are encouraged and trained to further develop their skills and passions.  This often leads to much needed income generation. This means an increase in the artisan’s ability to support themselves and their family, which is wonderful!  Thai Village has supported nationals in programs such as stitching, sewing, dressmaking, tin carving, silver-smithing, and jewelry designing.
