In East Timor, we work with the Cooperative for Tais & Cultural Development (CTCD) which works with three weaving collectives of women from the poorest and most disadvantaged families in the region. Operating according to the tradition of fulidai-dai; a set of cultural principles that prioritises equality, reciprocity and the support of the whole community the weaving collective produce unique handmade products including scarves, bags, bookmarks, boxes and traditional cloth.
