The Bohin Women's Association, currently consists of 10 members from a fishing village in Southern Thailand.  Their main food and income source is from fishing and growing vegetables for household consumption.  As fish stocks decrease, families have to find alternative sources of income.  Five years ago, the woman started hand crafting batik cloths to supplement their income.  The women have basic skills in making batik fabrics, but can only produce a very limited assortment of goods, which are often sold below their value because of a minimal retail presence. 

The women understand that if they can make more items such as clothes and accessories, this will greatly expand their market access and increase their earning potential.  More women in the village are also keen to learn to make these new products with higher-quality design and color schemes for sale.

Part of 3C's mission is to catalyze actions that bring about solutions for sustainable livelihoods in coastal communities so that communities do not depend on a single source of income that stresses natural resources.

3C is looking to help this cause by bringing in a trainer to teach the women more advanced skills in sewing and product and pattern design.

By supporting this cause, you will improve the livelihood of a coastal community in Thailand.  Specifically, your contribution will go towards hiring a trainer, purchasing materials for sewing, paints, and equipment for making batik.
