History of operations in Vietnam
• History of Ha Giang project. In the north of Vietnam, Hà Giang is one of the poorest provinces in the country. The majority of the population consists of ethnic minorities whose main activities are agriculture and forestry. Started in 2008 in the villages of Can Ty and Lung Tam, the objective of Ethnic Minority and Craft project was to support the initiatives of Hmong women by giving them training so that they develop income-generating activities based on their traditional weaving skills as part of a socially responsible value chain. The first phase of the project ended in December 2011 and a new phase will be implemented by the end of the year 2013.
