About 10% of the population of Vietnam is comprised of ethnic hill
tribe peoples. Living in rural hilly and mountainous areas, the hill
tribes have little access to markets. Craft Link, a non-profit
organization, works to assist small Vietnamese craft producers find
market opportunities and to promote awareness of ethnic minority crafts
and culture.
Craft Link also provides
marketing, design, and management advice to other disadvantaged groups,
like street children and people with disabilities. Craft Link is
committed to the principles of fair trade, investing in artisans' social
welfare and guaranteeing fair wages, worker safety, and care of the
environment.
Working closely with the
Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi, Craft Link helps preserve
traditional craft skills like the weaving and embroidery of the tribal
groups, puppet making, and traditional ceramics. Craft Link's ceramics,
long-time best sellers with our customers, come from Bat Trang, a small
village on the Red River, which has been famous for its ceramics since
the 15th century.
