Pasho County Ethnic Clothing Workshop, one of the county’s few successful local businesses, has been providing job opportunities for the physically challenged who live there.


Located in Drubpa village, Pema township, Pasho county, of Tibet’s eastern Qamdo city, the workshop is one of two government poverty alleviation projects, along with a factory producing buckwheat products.


The government has invested more than 120 million yuan on base construction for the two projects, which have given job opportunities to more than 40 impoverished families in the village.

In the clothing workshop, 17 of its 23 staff members are physically challenged individuals. Yet business has thrived, as clothing made by the workshop has been gaining popularity in the market, generating annual sales in excess of 4 million yuan ($580,671).


Established in 2014, the workshop produces more than 60,000 items annually, including various Tibetan robes, adornments, school uniforms, curtains, tents and shoes.
