About The Artisans 

Designed by Accompany and handcrafted by women of the Penan tribe in Borneo in partnership with the Miri Women Weaving Association (MWWA). Their mission is to help the Penan women get out of poverty by making and selling handwoven products. The weaving project has injected optimism into their lives. Earning an income has given the Penan woman a sense of dignity and self-worth. She is slowly becoming independent and is learning that she too has a voice and an important role to play in the Penan community. Besides the weaving project, MWWA also helps with medical and maternity care such as paying medical bills, providing milk, food and clothes for Penan mothers and babies.
