Boromey believes that he can help vendors sell more products by connecting them to an online platform so that an international audience can view their products. By increasing the number of products an artisan can sell, the standard of living for people in this profession will rise because they will receive a living wage for their products. Boromey used grant funding to create the Vayme website, copyright a logo, and advertising and marketing to promote the site.

Five-Year Project Goals:

• Increase Vayme’s popularity and prestige to include at least 200 community stores from all over Cambodia

Organization Information: Vayme

Vayme is an e-platform to help artisans who cannot afford a physical store or cannot reach diverse customers throughout the country. The platform works as an online mall so vendors can boost their sales by reaching a more diverse population, test new products, and send products to international customers. Vayme provides free usage to vendors and customers. Vendors and customers can contact each other via the site using a messenger feature like social media sites. Vayme also plans to create a smartphone app to make purchases even easier and accessible all around the world.
