About

Mang Tha women create bags, purses, pencil cases, table runners, cushion cases, etc. Mang Tha products are sold both locally and internationally. Aside from producing its own range of products, the project also responds to specific orders. From 30 to 45 women receive monthly income from these activities, which benefits radiate into their families and communities. The income generated through selling also permits to fund Mang Tha’s classes, emergency fund and other activities.
