Tais weaving in Timor-Leste is an age-old tradition that has passed from generation to generation through women’s voices. For many women – especially those like Juliana, who are from rural areas - this practice represents a way to maintain an inherited cultural heritage and also to generate extra income for the sustenance of their families.

In the case of the women who form the Feto Fitun Fronteira group in the village of Oé-Silo - Bobometo, this activity constitutes their main source of income. The group started to work officially in 2002, but it was not until 2008 when they began to mobilise with the aim of starting to create a network of clients. Currently, Feto Fitun Fronteira group works actively throughout the entire Timorese territory, especially in Dili, where it has a large number clients and partners.
