After successfully selling embroidered handkerchiefs and cloth bags from Daping village, Chuan1Chuan is looking to expand to new areas to help more women.

“Chuan1Chuan benefits greatly from Sparkseed’s mentorship, financial assistance, and business know-how. Sparkseed has helped us to ensure successful implementation of our community-based social enterprises.”
