Hello
A friend has told me about a workshop that is either located in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh that trains students with disabilities, blind, missing limbs, etc. The students learn a craft, for example silversmithing while there.
The shop has tours for visitors of the workshop and sells the items produced as well.
Does anyone one know the name of this organization and where it's located? SR or PNH?
Thanks so much.
Crafts made by handicap artisans?

I think your friend may be referring to Friends International. They have a shop on Street 13 just south of 172.
Also, Epic Arts in Kampot does similar work with the deaf.

I'm sure there was or is another one in SR but I can't recall the name. This being Cambodia there will probably be one soon if there isn't.
In SR there is http://www.artisansdangkor.com/
& in PNH there is http://www.watthanartisans.org/ both fit your description

But their website is down and their shop near Russian market has recently closed so maybe they're selling off old stock.

Here's another I've assisted in the past. They always had a small shop on St#278, I assume its still there. They have shops in both PP and SR, they will gladly show you around the workshop etc. http://www.rehabcraftcambodia.org/indexCONTACT.html
