Did you know?
From 1964 - 1973 approximately 270 million bombs were dropped on Laos by the USA.
An estimated 80 million UXO failed to detonate and still litter the land.
The Peace Project provides sustainable income to the metal artisans and training and employment to Hmong women who sew the fine traditional embroidery.
Loom Designs donates a further $1 from the sale of each item to COPE Laos, rehabilitating UXO survivors. Find out more here copelaos.org
