The Rocking Yak

The Rocking Yak is a grassroots company working with Tibetans to aid in poverty alleviation.  The mission is to work with rural Tibetans communities within the Yunnan province to produce quality, handspun yarn of pure yak down, knitting patterns, & kits to sell in local & foreign markets.  The Rocking Yak is committed to paying fair wages & earning a FAIRTRADE status for the company.  All the profits are reinvested into the communities we work in.

Our goal is to help the Tibetan villagers in our region by:

1.  Providing them with a chance to earn additional income, to better their livelihood, and reduce the income gap with them and the urban dwellers.

2.  Increase their self-worth as we impart in them a skill that has market value, while embracing the beauty of their culture.

3.  Using the profits to improve their quality of life through investing in healthcare and education.

As of now, The Rocking Yak is in the beginning phases of opening. Lots of work is being done on the Chinese side to get all the paperwork finished for approval by the chinese government.
