 Cambodianthings
aims to improve the quality of lives of poor / disadvantaged
Cambodians. "Fair wages to Artisans, Affordable
prices to Customers" this brief
sentence is indeed the fundamental purpose of our company.
Founded in
Cambodia by Andrew Rowe. KSILKS earliest operations began with the sale
and export of individual silk products to Cambodian nationals
living in North America through online auction giant
and from special requests from individuals outside of
Cambodia. Andrew Rowe would travel to remote regions
throughout Cambodia in search of the requested products.
Since we offered our services
as a method of sharing Cambodian culture with nationals living abroad,
and a means of exploring the country simultaneously, our intentions
were never strictly financial and still remain so. Shortly
after, we found that interest quickly grew, as no other comparable
products/services existed, this then led to the inception of our
website in order to cope with ensuing orders.
 In a relative short time, our
customer base broadened, and it soon became clear that this small
private venture had the potential of expanding into a niche online
business, we have now evolved into a small online venture which has
efficiently exported thousands of handcrafts globally. Andrew
having seen first hand the high levels of poverty throughout the
country, was inspired to initiate a cause which aims to enhance the
lives of many of the poverty-stricken Cambodians witnessed throughout
Cambodia.
Looking at our
Cambodian products, two things should be clear: our exquisite
silk products are carefully hand woven sometimes taking several days to
weeks to make, and that each piece is of exceptional quality.
Most of our silk handicraft products are made by disadvantaged
Cambodians, disabled participants of various handicraft organizations,
and independent tailors (living in remote villages).
Ksilks has
actively sought to deal face to face with these poor and isolated
artisans who produce our products. And we offers much
higher compensation to these artisans through our face to face
meetings, as the typical exploitive middle man is eliminated; socially
conscious, trustworthy and reliable - www.ksilks.com is a small
organization that continually strives to improve the lives of
disadvantaged groups in Cambodia.
