Hi everyone, we are “Menganyam Pesisir” 😊🖐   -Menganyam Pesisir (Coastal Weaving) is a sustainable social enterprise by empowering marginal indigenous women in coastal areas by increasing the capacity of human resources by providing "skills training, mentoring and entrepreneurship" through the utilization of abundant natural resources in the form of sea pandanus leaves (daun pandan laut) in coastal areas to become fashion woven products based on local wisdom with high selling prices. -What we do: 1. Skills Training: The Skills Training that we provide is in the form of how to weave until the process to become woven products, where these women have not been able to weave or do not yet have certain skills, so we provide them these skills. 2. Mentoring: To optimize the training that we have done, we conduct periodic mentoring, where mentoring serves as an oversight for our empowered women, so that these women can be more targeted and so that these women can be more developed. 3. Entrepreneurship: We realize that in order to be sustainable, our social enterprise must have a profit, so we train our empowered women how to market their products in their village/in coastal areas, how to communicate with their customers and how to manage their finance. On the other hand we also encourage our empowered women to become our partners, by selling their products and inviting them to collaborate with us by making fashionable woven products based on local wisdom with high selling value through social media. You can find our collaboration through instagram @ngrawah.products and our social activities through @menganyampesisir. - The issues that we want to rise are: The main problems of “Menganyam Pesisir” are about "poverty and gender inequality". 1. Poverty (The most poverty in Indonesia mostly occurs in coastal areas, where Indonesia as the widest archipelago country in the world has more than 17.500 islands and has a lot of coastal areas. Currently D.I. Yogyakarta Province is the 12th poorest province in Indonesia and the poorest province in Java Island (BPS 2019), this is because there are 2 regencies where poverty is difficult to alleviate in D.I. Yogyakarta that are located in Gunung Kidul Regency and Kulon Progo Regency) 2. Gender Inequality (Women in coastal areas get married at a young age, which they consider a burden of their families if they do not get married soon. These women also do not get the same opportunities as men in coastal areas). Because of these two main problems we focus on women empowerment by empowering indigeneous marginal women in coastal areas. We started Menganyam Pesisir since August 8 2018 (we started our research since April 2017), where currently we have two empowered villages that located in Gunung Kidul Regency and Bantul Regency. In the future, we want to be able to empower more coastal women and be able to expand our empowerment in the coastal areas. We need support from #BeSociopreneur so that what we do can be better known to the wider community, and we hope that more people can support what we have done. By supporting "Menganyam Pesisir", means that you support the sustainability of our social enterprise, where our social enterprise not only supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially No.1 "No Poverty" and No. 5 "Gender Equality" but we also support the preservation of the original culture of the Indonesian people "Anyaman (traditional weaving technique)", where currently weavers in Indonesia have left this profession and weaving profession towards of extinction. Then also at this time the Indonesian people are no longer interested in woven products, because woven product is considered as old and outdated craft, that's why in this Menganyam Pesiair we try to make fashionable and up to date woven products, especially for young people. And most importantly our social enterprise creates a new job for indigeneous marginal women in coastal areas, so that in the future these coastal women can have the opportunity of better living and can be financially independent and independent as dignified women in the community. Therefore, by supporting Menganyam Pesisir social enterprise, it means You also support 3 important things: 1. Supporting SDGs global goals 2. Supporting the preservation of Indonesia's "Anyaman" culture 3. Creating a new job for coastal women Therefore we invite you all, to create a better life for the women in coastal areas, because we belive, "small things can have the massive impact if small things are done together". Together we are strong and together we can. Thank You so much for every single of your support 😊🙏
