Life among those living in the Lao mountains are not always the easiest — most of them are subject to abuse, slavery, illiteracy, poverty, and other traumatic experiences. Project Kasjiab offers a place for them to heal and overcome their past trauma. The project built a Women’s Workplace, Women Empowerment Shop, Shelter for Care and Informal Education, and restaurants and homestay managed by the local people. This isn’t an easy place to visit — learning about what they went through can be heartbreaking — but every visit boosts the people’s morale, and a purchase of their products helps sustain this noble project.
