This product is made by Thai Tribal Craft. Thai Tribal is a non-profit organisation working with seven hill tribes living in about fifty isolated villages in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Thai Tribal provides a marketing outlet for the traditional arts and crafts of the hill tribe people offers advice and training to producers and assists in the creation of new designs. Thai Tribal’s support has not only given the villagers much needed income, but helped them to gain dignity and a renewed sense of self worth. About sixty percent of the price of each craft item goes to the producer. The net profit after this is divided amongst the tribal people. Thousands of mountain-dwelling people can now provide better nutrition for their families, obtain medical help and educate their children. Thai Tribal Craft is a member of the International Fair Trade Association.
