Tilema
Tilema is an artisan who creates traditional fans alongside her mother and sister. The business helps support their growing family, and provides security for the younger and older members of the family who can’t work. The women take their fans to a local market and have requested a loan for more materials. The Studio is helping them purchase a large batch of coconut husk, coconut fiber, shells, hibiscus, and leaves that they use to weave and decorate their fans so they can sell more items at the local market.
