Reaching Out Tea House Hoi An on Map
History of Reaching Out Tea House Hoi An
The story of Reaching Out Tea House in Hoi An began in 2000, when founders Le Nguyen Binh and his wife, Quyen Mai, established a social enterprise to empower locals with disabilities. Binh, who faced severe physical challenges following a medical mishap, wanted to create meaningful livelihoods for marginalized individuals.
What started primarily as a craft workshop eventually expanded into the iconic tea house in the heart of Hoi An’s Ancient Town. Staffed predominantly by deaf and speech-impaired individuals, the sanctuary was designed to embrace silence and mindfulness.
By introducing unique communication tools like wooden blocks and written notes, the founders transformed a perceived barrier into a profound cultural experience. Today, it stands as a celebrated community model, offering visitors a tranquil escape while championing social inclusion and fair trade in Vietnam.
