Last year's embroidery program (2021) consisted of Viori and 7 Red Yao women setting up an embroidery program which aimed at providing the women with a stable salary and at the same time providing a select group of Viori's customers with a unique hand-made gift straight from the mountains of Longsheng.
With the aunties experiencing their income increase substantially (some up to 50%), and our customers loving their gifts, we've decided not only to continue this project but expand it by having more Red Yao women join the embroidery coop. It's a joy to see the embroidery group be able to continue their tradition, and receive a healthy and fair return along the way.
