The 25 women aside from having forums to increase their confidence and leadership have been participating in different spaces where they develop and improve their motor skills to produce the handcrafts.
The first spaces are called “weaving in group”, intended to gather the women to interchange patterns and styles from different villages to reinforce their confidence, to transmit their knowledge and to improve the weaving techniques.
The second spaces are called “weaving in family”, where women teach to their relatives and other community members this ancient practice, as a way to preserve this practice that was increasingly losing it because knowledge was not shared. Likewise, to count with a full backup of their husbands to participate actively, because they have not had the support to be independent or have a different role apart of homemakers.
The third spaces are “weaving for the project” aimed to produce the handcraft to sell, in order to set a base of clients and increase the women´s income for their livelihood.
These activities are the complement for the formation, to conclude with and education that includes the human and the technical part. The idea for 2016 is to boost the number of activities to expand the impact of the project.
That´s it for now, but sincerely, we would like to thank for engaging to keep this initiative alive in 2015.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2016!
