C2I Development and Trade Promotion JSC

C2I Development and Trade Promotion JSC is a social enterprise founded on the basis of Thuan Hoa Social Protection Center who has been in operation since 2008 to support poor women belonging to ethnic minority through providing jobs and placement for income generation. C2I was established to find the markets for products made by artisans trained at and working for Thuan Hoa Social Protection Center. We focus on providing handicraft products from cotton fabric, hemp fabric and silk. C2I is designed and organized to become part of an ecosystem of other Vietnamese social enterprises operating in the handicraft sector. C2I will differentiate its value proposition with respect to these organizations, but will have the possibility to leverage their available production capacity in case of high demand. C2I is committed to re-invest the profit of its operations within the enterprise, in Thuan Hoa Social Protection Center (for activities like training or product development) and in projects aimed to ease the integration of disadvantaged people in the society.
