Tinung Rambu is social enterprise based in East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia to promote the woven culture and women empowerment to support the mama’s life. One of our campaign now is #TinungRambu, by adopting or buying every product will equal to supporting the development in basic needs for Patanning Village such as water supply, electricity and education. Up to now, Tinung Rambu has supported Paud Patanning for school supplies, providing water by pumping project and opening Tinung Rambu Reading Corner (Rumah Baca Tinung Rambu).
Tinung Rambu was built to empower the woven especially women and elderly. The woven is identity for Indonesian instead of Batik. Unfortunately, the woven as source of income for low middle class in East Nusa Tenggara especially in East Sumba, is currently decreasing by numbers. The women and elderly have been facing difficulties to make this heritage comes alive and keep it as their identity. The low revenue (about 0.5 USD per day) and presence of middle man in many aspects of sources of revenue including woven industry makes many families live in poverty and face difficulties to pass this heritage to their heir. Through Tinung Rambu, we hope to empower the women with their abilities for weaving which will have impact to culture preservation and also to increase the environment protection using natural dyes working. We also promote the originality of creation to buyer/adopter to make them proud of the culture as identity of Indonesian. We start from Patanning Village and develop the woven as new economy environment to increase their revenue and help them keep the culture passed to young generation.
Tinung Rambu has vision to build sustain economic environment with basis of the local wisdom. Through the program, currently Tinung Rambu has been developing the program in Patanning Village, Rende, East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara as the first start. We consider the project to commence in small scale area as a start in order to make the people feel the impact directly.
We keep our values in empowering women, culture preservation, fair trade, natural dyes and originality. Tinung Rambu involves all the women and elderly in our community to discuss and to set the prices for the product based on the process that will be needed.
This year will be our second year since we launched #TinungRambu. We really hope to achieve our vision in 2024 to make Patanning Village as a comprehensive social-based business that developed and run by the local wisdom and its people. #TinungRambu needs support from #BeSociopreneur is one of our way to escalate and to achieve the vision.
