Aim
Watthan Artisans Cambodia (WAC) is a worker-run cooperative training
Cambodian artisans with disabilities in handicraft production and
woodcarving. Our goal is to improve the living standard of people with
disabilities in Cambodia through training and employment.
History & Philosophy
WAC was formed in June 2004 by former students of the Maryknoll/Wat Than
Skills Training Centre for Landmine and Polio Disabled who decided to form a
cooperative and continue the work originally begun by Maryknoll.
Our artisans receive fair wages and benefits, with profits shared by the
staff and producers as well as being re-invested into staff development and
training. Our products are designed and produced on site at our workshop in
Phnom Penh and conform to very high standards.
