Training in vegetable dyeing and professional development for weavers

In 2023, Opportunity for Women wishes to continue to help women, and in particular Burmese weavers as well as the 60 weavers from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam who dream of perpetuating their activity.

Our project? To offer them the opportunity to follow professional training in vegetable dyeing and business development.

What hope for Burmese weavers?

In December, the founders of the associative brands

Opportunity for Women and You nsone were guests of Radio Notre-Dame, on the microphone of the program Orient-Extrême, to talk in particular about the situation of women weavers in Burma .

Due to the political and social crises suffered by the country, this ancestral textile craft is all the more threatened. This is why these associative brands engaged in Southeast Asia are joining forces to safeguard this precious heritage. Together, they encourage the development of the activity of Burmese weaving cooperatives and sewing workshops. Their ethical and supportive action allows many women to access training, stable employment and a fair income.

The Kayan ethnic group is an ethnic minority found near Loikaw in eastern Burma and has its own culture.

Weaving is a traditional skill, passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Opportunity for Women supports women by providing them with work that pays them fairly.

The profits from the association go to the women and help improve their daily lives.
