I came across the NGO charity Daughter Cambodia early in 2009-based in Phnom Penh, they help to resuce girls from the sex trafficking trade in Cambodia. As well as giving the girls somewhere to live safely, the charity also help the girls to reclaim their dignity by giving them the skills to support themselves. By working with the charity, the girls are provided with childacre facilities and are paid above-average wages. There are a variety of products they make, but I fell in love with their silk roses! After putting in an order for them, I couldn't wait for them to arrive and was brimming with ideas for them and I certainly wasn't disappointed! They are so gorgeous, it's almost a shame to add to them-each petal is hand cut and stitched together, ensuring that every single rose is beautifully unique. I have been in talks with the charity to set up a scheme whereby a portion of each sale made by Kingston Design's range using the roses, will go directly back to the charity. The Vera Fokina piece in the post below is an example of the range.
