Our Mission
Mekong Creations is a project of parent NGO Mekong Plus, which runs community development programmes in remote villages in Vietnam and Cambodia. One key objective is to generate employment for women. All profits from products sold are returned to the villages both directly in the form of salaries, and indirectly in funding for community development projects. Mekong Creations focus is to provide rewarding employment, increase family incomes and improve conditions for children in these remote communities.
Mekong Creations specialises in unique locally produced household and gift items, including papier mache, silk, bamboo and water hyacinth products. Mekong Creations also produces items for luxury French brand Terre D'oc and has permission to sell these designs locally.
Our producers are trained in production techniques for their field and supported in design and marketing by Mekong Plus.
All products are made in the villages, allowing more time to be spent with families. Product categories are introduced to the public at Mekong Creations outlets, which serve as a training ground for new products and designs. Mekong Creations and Mekong Plus working together are always on the lookout for new product ideas that can help provide a sustainable livelihood.
