Lobsang Choephel, one of the directors of the workshop, said the daily salary for staff members varies from 80 yuan to 180 yuan, and the workshop provides them with free accommodation and food.


The workshop also offers free training sessions in tailoring to help hone employees’ skills for better quality.


“The clothes production workshop has effectively helped impoverished and disabled people have a stable income, and it has helped the disabled to gain dignity in society,” said the 48-year-old.

“The disabled employees in the workshop are doing a great job, as they work very hard. Other villagers change jobs frequently, but they work steadily on the current job,” said Lobsang.


The workshop has been donating clothes and funds to a local nursing home and primary schools. In 2017, it gave away 520 Tibetan robes, worth more than 150,000 yuan, to impoverished villagers.
