THAI COUNTRY TRIM
For more than 18 years, Thai Country Trim
has been a safe haven for battered women
to receive emotional and financial support.
One example of this abuse: a woman was
constantly abused by her family until she
sought help at Thai Country Trim. Her family
gave her the most chores around the house
and consistently told her she was worthless.
Now, this woman, along with about 300
other women, is employed by Thai Country
Trim, Thailand, handcrafting items to earn a
living and learning to heal from her past.
