Project report: Training and development of handicrafts from woven fabric

A MicroAid Project

Esther Meti and Romana Roja are very proud to show off their wallets and handbags made of woven fabric of their own

Result:

  • In this training we learned how to make purses and handbags from woven fabrics.
  • We have learned these products (such as wallets and handbags) because the products easier to sell in local market.
  • When we do this training, we also got a guest visit from the District Government of Sikka. They gave us 2 rolls thread as additional feedstock that can be used to create two pieces of woven fabric.

Next step:

  • The results of the training that we did for 2 days; we can make a wallet and a small handbag and is sold at IDR 30,000 for a wallet and IDR 75,000 for a small handbag. We use the example of the products that we bought from local stores in Maumere city and the price that we sell can be cheaper than in stores.
  • The profit that we gain is IDR 10,000 for a wallet and IDR 25,000 for a small handbag. From this profit, we will collect the money in a group and we’ll use to buy other product samples and raw materials.
  • We want to learn again to make a wide range of products made from woven fabric
