History
Mekong Plus (previously called Vietnam Plus) was founded in 1994 in Vietnam by a group of Vietnamese and Belgian people. One of the members is a quilter and came up with the idea of teaching Vietnamese women how to quilt. This way work, and eventually salaries were possible to provide. Today one can find the result from this idea in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh-City, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap where the quilts are being sold.
