Our Makers
Our products are made by skilled graduates of HHA Cambodia’s sewing program in Siem Reap. Every purchase helps women earn a sustainable income, with proceeds funding local education projects.
Sangorb left school at just eight years old to care for her family’s cows. Without an education, she struggled to find decent work and, after marrying, lived with her husband in a small bamboo shack, struggling to make ends meet.
In 2015, she enrolled in HHA Cambodia’s sewing program, where she excelled. Sangorb launched a sewing business from home, producing products for her neighbours and HHA Cambodia. By 2017, her income had enabled her and her husband to build a new home, lifting their family out of poverty.
Sreythom left school in sixth grade to work in the rice fields and support her family. With limited education, she struggled to find stable employment and relied on irregular, low-paying jobs to survive.
In 2014, she joined HHA Cambodia’s sewing program, determined to build a better future. She worked hard, developed strong skills, and soon began earning a reliable income by sewing products for the organisation. Today, Sreythom runs her own small sewing business from home, supports her children’s education, and has created financial stability for her family.
Sampheas left school after ninth grade to care for her younger siblings. At 20, she married, but soon became a single mother when her husband left, raising two children on her own. To provide for them, she worked in low-paying jobs as a housekeeper and construction worker.
Encouraged by her family, she enrolled in HHA Cambodia’s sewing program, determined to create a better future. She thrived, and was later hired as a seamstress by the organisation. Today, she earns triple her previous income, runs a small sewing shop from home, and studies English through HHA Cambodia’s education program.
Chomrong was forced to leave school in eighth grade because of poverty and worked as a builder, earning just USD $0.88 a day. Living hand-to-mouth, she often worried whether her family would have enough to eat.
After joining HHA Cambodia’s sewing program, her determination quickly stood out. She went on to start a home-based business, became a seamstress for HHA Cambodia, and enrolled her children in the organisation’s preschool and learning programs. Today, Chomrong works as a part-time sewing teacher, contributes to product development, and has built a new home for her family.
