Determined to refute the legacy of child labor and local exploitation in Thailand, Carpet Maker (Thailand),
set out to provide a stable working environment for underprivileged citizens of the northeastern provinces
and to increase opportunities for skilled laborers. This provided a new path for local craftsmen.
Instead of following the decades-long migration of provincial workers with little choice other than to leave
their families behind to scratch for a living in Bangkok, locals could now find success and take pride
in helping to build an innovative industry in their own backyard.
Their quality of life was improved immeasurably as they were suddenly able to find a satisfying local job
that could support their family and give them a chance to remain in their hometown.
