Her Story (2015)

Weaving Opportunities (5x8)

Air date: Sep 24, 2019

Chantha Nguon operates a textile dyeing workshop in northern Cambodia. The workers are women who were unable to attend school. In Cambodian farming villages, the value of education for women is often underestimated, making it hard for them to find work later. Chantha teaches her workers not just textile-making techniques, but also reading and mathematics. She has supported over 800 women with these efforts, strongly believing that education will create new opportunities for them.
