It is an honor and privilege to collaborate with amazing women culture bearers who carry on our culture and traditions.
For the past four years that we have been doing our work, we have had the opportunity to see first-hand the impact of women on communities.
Our partners are women leaders of their groups. They facilitate and support their community's livelihood and continue to pass on their knowledge and skills in weaving, embroidery and art.
Happy Hearts Day! โค๏ธ
Hearts are not an easy pattern to weave, and this amazing fabric shows the talent and hardwork of Yakan weavers of Basilan who successfully wove ๐ฉท patterns using their traditional backstrap loom.
