Our trip to Laos

We are heading to Laos again next month. We are meeting with some women’s collectives, some private and some government-run iniatives that are established to maintain the Lao weaving and culture. In conjunction with Map Architects Melbourne, the Unesco observatory and Melbourne University, we are proudly involved with probono work which includes setting up weaving workshops and collectives in Laos for women. We hope to establish a weaving centre, where women may learn about skills and culture and have an arena in which to gain financial independance. We will also be taking school and stationary supplies, both bought and donated. We welcome any items or money to donate, please contact us. We will mention your organisation (unless requested not to) in Australia and in Laos to give thanks for the gift and 100% of your donations go towards the purchase of fundamental items in Lao. We thank you in advance.

We have also sourced sustainable, locally made, handwoven textiles that are organic and naturally dyed and produced. These are worthwhile staying tuned for. They are lovely, durable, natural fibres for the warmer months.
