Visit to VABE Handicapped Handicrafts Factory in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


The One-Day Mekong Delta Tour includes a visit to VABE Handicapped Handicrafts Factory on the way to My Tho. The factory employed handicapped people, some caused by the Vietnam War, to give them and their families some forms of employment.

All the arts and paintings are hand-made and painted by the handicapped people in the factory. The products are beautifully done and of high quality. The sale to tourists who visited the factory is quite good from what we see. This is a good example of a social enterprise.
