March 4, 2010 ORIJYN

The moment I started opening the packaging of my Orijyn bracelet, I knew I was this was something very special. The bracelet was enclosed in a handmade case with an enchanting aroma that took me miles away...

Orijyn is a company dedicated to changing the world.
The company’s mission is to introduce a talented group of craftsmen to the public. All while teaching them to self sustain in business practices that will empower themselves, their families and communities. With this direct-to-the-source revenue stream, they preserve age-old skills and attract future generations to the craft. In turn, they improve the standard of living for families and the entire village.

A purchase is also a donation.
As Laos’ culture evolves and its products become commercialized, many of the master handcraft skills are being lost. By supporting these crafts, you help to sustain the community culture and supply much-needed income, preventing families from having to migrate to the city to find commoditized, low paying work. You will feel the satisfaction of helping an appreciative group of people make a better life for themselves.

Your purchase goes directly to the person who made the piece you chose, along with the additional profits going to PADETC a non-profit alternate learning school in Vientiane, Laos. It will help provide PADETC with basic resources to prepare young leaders for their changing world.
