Can Ty Linen Cooperative

There are 23 women members of Can Ty linen cooperative which began operation in 2010. You can visit the Can Ty Linen Cooperative to buy beautiful handmade linen products. Usually the working hours at the cooperative depends on the season as linen handicraft has become a secondary source of income for most households. All women involved in the cooperative have children and work hard to cover their living costs.

 “Our village Can Ty is located on a geopark classified by UNESCO and visited by several groups of tourists! We are happy that the tourist guides bring visitors to our cooperative. We enjoy explaining all the process from planting flax to the finished linen products. During the visit the visitors are happy to support and buy our beautiful products! “  – statement made by Mrs. Giang Thi Say, representative of women producer group.

In March 2019, ActionAid conducted one-month training in colour production delivered by a French consultant so Can Ty Linen members can produce marketable products to be sold in Hanoi. They are now technically ready to grow!
