Reaching Out

Who and what:
Reaching Out is a unique craft store owned, operated and whose products are made by artisans with physical disabilities. We train and employ disabled people and allow them the flexibility of working in the store and attached workshop or from the comfort of their own homes. We are firm believers of fair trade and fair wage - our artisans receive about 35% more than the average wage.
The experience:
Visit our store and workshop, see the full array of crafts available and witness the artisans at work. Support our artisans by purchasing Reaching Out products at our shop or online. Choose to sponsor the vocational training fee for one or more people with disabilities from our long waiting list.
From Hanuman:
Reaching Out is a good cause boutique located on the popular Nguyen Thai Hoc St, home to such renowed restaurants and bars as Mango Rooms and Tam Tam. Reaching Out produces high quality local handicrafts, including silk, lacquerware, ceramics and homeware. Making purchases here assists Reaching Out in their mission to provide employment opportunities to the disabled community.
