These are so beautiful! These handmade flowers were made by women in Cambodia who were/ are victimized by sex traffickers. The women have learned this trade as a way to get back on their feet and gain an alternative income to support themselves and their families. 100% percent of the profits goes into the center to pay the women's salaries and housing and operation costs.
