TRANSPARENCY
Soieries du Mékong is a social and solidarity-based project that provides a living for more than sixty women and, by extension, 350 people in an isolated and impoverished village in northern Cambodia.
"Behind every scarf, a story of women"
"Behind every purchase"
In 2026, for a scarf sold for €100:
- €38 went to the wages and social protection of the weavers and employees in Cambodia.
- €25 went to the purchase of raw materials (of which 74% to suppliers in Asia).
- €15 went to other expenses in Cambodia (tools, premises, taxes, etc.)
- €22 went to design and distribution costs in France.
Soieries du Mékong has no shareholders. In the event of a profit at the end of a financial year, 100% of it is donated to Enfants du Mékong for educational projects in the village of Banteay Chhmar.
How do we control our costs?
- Our “Bamboos,” young people on International Solidarity Volunteering assignments who commit to a year in Cambodia to contribute their skills to local teams.
- Minimum spending on marketing and advertising.
- Our customers, who are our ambassadors: satisfied with the quality of their scarves and moved by the project, many recommend us to their loved ones and on social media.
- Experts who are sensitive to the project and contribute through pro bono work or as freelancers at highly favorable rates.
- Only one employee in France, assisted by a work-study student and two volunteers throughout the year.
- The unwavering commitment of the Enfants du Mékong network of friends, which helps us sell our products.
- Loyal commercial partners and sponsors who help us
develop the project.
WE ARE DRIVEN BY A CONVICTION : YES, our weavers can lift themselves out of poverty and become autonomous, proud, and independent through their work.
