Since June 2009, with the help of generous individual sponsors, Cambodia Knits has trained more than 25 individuals in two communities in basic and advanced knitting skills.  Once trained, all participants have the opportunity to produce CK products at piece rates. Knitters are provided with all materials and receive a fair piece rate for what they produce.  We regularly visit the communities to collect the products, pay knitters and provide support and additional training when necessary.

We believe that high quality products can be made at home.  This cuts out the need to travel the long distance into the city to find work and allows parents to stay home with their young children.  It also means that people can work at their own pace and still earn a livable income.

In October and November, 2009 we trained 18 knitters at Toul Sambo.   Learn more about our work there here.

As we grow, we’ll be training more knitters!  If you are interested in sponsoring a knitter, please contact us by email.
