Craft Link Information

Three things make us different. First, we are committed to working with producers who need our services. Second, profits are used for the organization's development activities and for developing new handicraft projects, not for the benefit of the owner or board. Finally, because the profits do not go into the pockets of individuals, many people share our vision and willingly invest time and energy to make this vision a reality. What happens to Craft Link's profits? Craft Link is committed to helping producers. Craft Link pays its artisan groups fair wages and uses profits to assist in new project activities, including different trainings to the artisans. Craft Link is committed to treating all of its handicraft artisans fairly and providing markets for their products through its shops, bazaars and export. Craft Link also needs to be financially self-sustainable and not dependent on outside money. If Craft Link cannot sustain itself, then its efforts to help producers cannot continue. How can you become a "link" in the Craft Link chain? The first way is to purchase handicraft products through Craft Link's shop, bazaars and other distribution channels. The second way is to tell others about our products and vision. Finally, you can volunteer to assist at Craft Link's bazaars and shops, and with other activities. 43 - 51 Vanmieu, Hanoi, Vietnam Tel: (84 4) 3 7336101 Fax: (84 4) 3 8437926 Email: craftlink@fpt.vn
