About the Worskhop...
The non-profit Lifestart Foundation Workshop focuses on creating unique handmade arts/crafts to help support those living in challenging situations in Vietnam. Each item is individually made by members of the workshop and the entire proceeds from the sale of the products go directly to the workshop members to provide a sustainable income and sense of independence.
It all started when a small group of local women living with disabilities in the Hoi An area joined together with Lifestart Foundation to form a special workshop. The group initially met in March 2008 under the direction of Sherry Berger to develop skills to create a small line of unique products. The Workshop is now a fantastic success due to the hard work and determination of these women, as well as the dedicated team of volunteers who have supported the Workshop both from home and during visits to Hoi An. The Workshop has now expanded to new members, of all ages. Read More...
