Mekong Plus

Mekong Plus is a Social Enterprise with one aim and that is to create sustainable employment for under-privileged women in remote and rural regions of Vietnam and Cambodia.

The organization was created in 2001 by Thanh Truong, a dentist from Ho Chi Minh with a passion for social development. At that time 35 women were employed to handmake high quality quilts from home. Fast forward to today and Mekong Plus now employs over 340 women in communities northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta and Svay Rieng in Cambodia. Besides direct economic benefit to the women Mekong Plus strives to support the wider community through development initiatives such as micro-financing, scholarships, and health, hygiene and agricultural education programs.

No wonder they say “Every item purchased from Mekong+ is a gift that gives twice"
