About the project

The SIF is collaborating with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on a one-year community development project to improve the income levels and uplift the standard of living of craft village Gia Thanh in Phu Tho Province. An in-field SIF volunteer has been selected to help improve design, production capacity and marketing channels of locally produced conical hats and/or craftwork, together with the community: Phú Thọ Provincial Rural Development Sub-Department and a JICA volunteer.
