This year’s Khmer Crafts and Food Fair attracted about 1,800 attendees around the world. Thefestival aims to show off local products while giving the vendors a chance to put their business skillsto the test, supported by a nonprofit economic development agency fighting human trafficking inCambodia and India.   Standing behind her booth at the third annual Khmer Crafts and Food Fair (KCFF), ChhimSreypich lays out some handwoven shawls, each made with thoughtful colour combinations, as sheexplains why she started her business: “I want to support the women and children.” Alongside her oneither side, stretching down the length of a festival tent, are many other booths filled with handwovenshawls, hand-dyed textiles, jewelry and clothing. Almost every business behind each booth providesjobs to women, the disabled or the elderly in making products with traditional Khmer techniques.    Chhim worked in sales and marketing for years at a different social enterprise, a job whichbrought her out to the provinces where she noticed, “They have production, but it’s not working. It’snot going out.” Recognising her own keen interest in sales and marketing, she decided to launchChhnai and Support, employing women from Banteay Chmar province. Her employees are womenof a certain age – too old for entering the job market, but still saddled with the burden of a family tosupport. “That was one more thing I saw in Cambodia,” Chhim says of her trips to the provinces.“The old women don’t have work, but they need some money to support their family. That’s why Ithink I can help them by selling products.”   She’s not alone. The festival was started by not-for-profit Nomi Network with local businessVillageworks as a way to promote Khmer culture through local food and crafts businesses. NomiNetwork is an international organisation founded to provide job training and employmentopportunities to victims of human trafficking. When creating the festival, the organisation waslooking for local social enterprises specifically, and though now its scope has shifted to entrepreneurs or new businesses – either Khmer-owned or “made in Cambodia” – most still have a social mission.In fact, the festival was so successful that there are plans to host one in Battambang at the end of thisyear. The Phnom Penh version will be also coming back next year.
