SERRV Partners in China:

Threads of Yunnan
Threads of Yunnan works with small-scale artisans in some of the most impoverished villages in the Yunnan province of China to improve the lives of rural ethnic minority women while also preserving their cultural traditions and raising their self-esteem. Yunnan is home to over 25 ethnic groups, each with rich cultural traditions, like the women who work with Threads of Yunnan. Through sales of their handicrafts, the project enables women to earn cash income which they can invest in their family's future.
