About Us

SALASUSU Story

SALASUSU is a Japanes social enterprise based in Cambodia for over 10 years and dedicated to improving the lives of young Cambodians. Our mission is to empower young people to gain the life skills they need through training or ethical manufacturing, paving the way for a bright future.

Our organization has been in operation since 2004. We established our Community Factory in Kchass Village, 35km outside of Siem Reap in 2006. Here we provide both vocational and life skills training, dedicating a portion of each day to developing our producer’s soft skills. We cooperate with local authorities and the community to identify 16-24-year-old women from the most vulnerable social and economic backgrounds, and invite them to join a two- year training program with us. During this time they learn vocational skills and earn enough income to support their families. We remove the barriers to them coming to work by providing child care, free lunch, transport and a variety of other benefits.
 In 2016 we began offering our Life Skills Training services outside of our factory to companies, NGOs and the Cambodian government. Through years of experience, we have developed a successful training model that can create better workplaces. We provide innovative and proven basic competency (life skills) training to increase young people’s ability to seek and sustain quality employment. We entered into Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in 2016 and with the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training in 2017.

We currently produce 3 brands! ‘I Love Cambodia’, our souvenir brand, ‘SUSU’ our ethical fashion brand and SALASUSU our premium fashion line.
