Economic Development:
NEIP's goal is to help the villages become self-sustaining, and not reliant on us in the long term. We will help them to own and sustain the project long after we pull ourselves out of the area. There are many economic problems with in this villages. Many of the youth leave the village when they are old enough and do not come back. If this rate were to continue, many of the villages could cease to exist over the next half century or so. Education opportunity is limited for the children in the village, due to lack of resources, and financial stability from the parents. Your contributions help us bring the needed resources to equip and train the people.

 

Weaving and Handicrafts
NEIP has encouraged the women of the village to look back into their own history and remember how they made clothes of out cotton and silk, which they stopped due to the easy availability of synthetic material. The old art of dying, spinning yarn and weaving is once again returning to the village.

Handmade Bookmarks: The public can help by donating to NEIP.  NEIP purchases Handmade Bookmarks hand-made by the women of Yimjenkimong Village, in order to begin helping some of them earn a supplemental income.   NEIP will send you a Handmade Bookmark as a gift , for a donation of any amount.  All you have to do is request one in the comment section of your donation, and we will gladly send one your way!

Silk Extraction: One volunteer came with the team in 2008 and held classes teaching the women of the village how to extract silk from the silk worm cocoon that they harvest each year for food. They have been eating the silk worm for years, but never knew how to make silk thread from the cocoon. We hope this will help them down the road in being able to produce a supplemental income selling the thread or even making silk products.

Bamboo Cups: NEIP is encouraging the use of bamboo, which grows here in abundant, to make handicrafts for national and international markets.  The public can help by donating to NEIP.  NEIP purchases Bamboo Cups made by the men of Yimjenkimong Village, in order to begin helping some of them earn a supplemental income.   NEIP will send you a Bamboo Cup as a gift , for a donation of any amount.  All you have to do is request one in the comment section of your donation, and we will gladly send one your way!
