Wongwiang Handicrafts began life in 1978 as a small family run business making lacquer-ware items.

Mr Wongwiang was an in-patient with leprosy at the McKean Rehabilitation Centre and learnt his craft skills during his time there. He set up his own business five years after leaving the centre. He continues to support McKean by employing other ex-patients and sons and daughters of patients still resident there.
Mr Wongwiang has a deep commitment to those society has rejected. As well as ex-leprosy patients he currently employs people who have been refused work elsewhere and are in danger of being excluded from their communities.
