MEET THE ARTISAN
MANAVA
Located in: Cambodia
MANAVA empowers women rising above poverty and economic hardships. Artisans work together in a safe and supportive workshop or may opt to work from home so that they can also take care of their children. Through a time-intensive rattan weaving process, they preserve traditional Kbach symbols. Each piece takes at least one month to harvest, dry, and prepare materials, plus a minimum of three days for weaving. With MANAVA’s support, family incomes have increased by 95 percent; beforehand, the average income was approximately $2.50 per day. MANAVA partners with a Women’s Resource Center to provide a life skills program. MANAVA places an emphasis on eco-conscious practices and sustainable harvests; the raw materials are organic and pesticide- and herbicide-free.
