Hanoi, Vietnam
Organization type:
hybrid
Start-Up
Budget:
$50,000 - $100,000
Example: Walk us through a specific example(s) of how this solution makes a difference; include its primary activities.
At the moment, after 1 year operating, MG has it own legal status of a limited company and successfully set up 02 MG groups in Nha Trang Bay MPA and the first and only Trao Reef locally managed MPA in Vietnam (both in Khanh Hoa Province). We gain totally USD 60.000 in 2011, provide job and income for 32 women earning about USD 150/month. None of these 32 women was an artisan before they enter MG’s program. They even have no job, income and the chance to voice up at their family.
Marketplace: Who else is addressing the problem outlined here? How does the proposed project differ from these approaches?
Tour operators, handicrafts producers and development organisation that work in coastal Vietnam are our competitors.
High end tour operators have distribution channels, budget avaiable while we have strong technical in Marine Conservation and unique products which is marine conservation expedition. Many handicrafts producers in Vietnam have distribution channels around the world already. However, we have unique products that ultilizing from marine by products. We have market orientation and a long term committment to our work in compering with avaiable funding but projects based approach of NGOs.
