Khmer Creations- Creating opportunities for disadvantaged Cambodian producers.

Here at Fair Trade Oxfam Shop in Bayswater, we love our ethical accessories. Khmer Creations Australia is an ethical fair trading company who design and sell beautiful gifts and accessories made by Cambodian social enterprises while Khmer Creations Jewellery Studio in Cambodia is manufactures and wholesales a unique range of jewellery for the international market. Managed and staffed by Khmer women, the studio provides skills training and secure employment to young women from disadvantaged backgrounds.

While some essential jewellery supplies must travel from Thailand, the majority of accessories are produced from a range of interesting locally sourced materials. These include woven silk, metal hardware washers, cutlery, buttons, coconuts and seeds and from this has grown a vibrant collection that distinguishes itself from most other jewellery. 

Pieces available from the shop include bracelets, necklaces, earrings (including some great recycled button drop earrings for only $9!).

First Home Project

Oxfam welcomes and supports Australia ambassador Jarrod McKenna, his wife Teresa and son Tyson  who are hoping to buy their first home. And they’d like it to be the first Australian home for refugees and asylum seekers who are facing Perth’s housing crisis too.

There is a housing crisis in Perth. Only 2% of rental properties are vacant. The mining boom has seen a huge increase in the number of renters and this additional competition has left parties outbidding each other to lease the few rental properties on the market. In this environment, refugees – our newest Australians – struggle to access affordable accommodation, let alone accommodation close to employment opportunities or community services.For ways you can help go to their website.
