With AlTo's help, these ladies have reclaimed their lost weaving tradition, not practiced for 12 years.  Now, they are earning money for their families and passing on their traditional weaving techniques to the next generation.  Their weaving skills and support for their families earns them increased freedom and respect and helps reduce the pressure to illegally log the surrounding forests.  
Dengan dukungan AlTo, para ibu ini dapat menggunakan kembali keahliannya dalam tradisi menenun, setelah 12 tahun tidak pernah dilaksanakan.

A few years ago, Okto was one of many around Mt. Tompotika for whom the lack of employment options made the temptation to earn money sawing or carrying illeggally-logged wood overwhelming.  Now, he supports his family as a guide for eco-tourists and AlTo staff in their explorations of the forests of Tompotika.
