Many young people in the community do not have access to stable vocational skills or opportunities to earn income close to home. At the same time, local weaving knowledge and traditional craftsmanship are slowly disappearing as older generations age. Some youth have had informal opportunities to observe and practice. However, training is not yet structured or consistent. There are limited materials and loom equipment, and there is no organized system to help youth move from learning basic skills to producing items they can sell. Because of this, many young people do not yet see weaving as a realistic way to earn income. This project will strengthen and expand the existing weaving efforts by organizing regular training sessions, increasing access to materials and equipment, and creating a clearer pathway from skill development to income generation. Youth will learn directly from experienced local weavers through hands on practice, while also being guided in how to produce items that can be sold. By formalizing the training system and building a mentorship structure between experienced and new learners, traditional knowledge will be passed down more consistently. With better organization and resources, youth will be able to produce more confidently, generate income, and see weaving not only as cultural heritage but also as a practical livelihood option. This will strengthen both economic stability and cultural preservation within the community.

The church will support the sustainable weaving training project using its own resources, including buildings, classrooms, and existing loom equipment, as well as community personnel and volunteers as trainers and assistants. Additionally, the church will host youth handicraft sales to generate revenue for the project. It will also establish a continuous training system and a network of senior and junior students, enabling new youth to learn without relying on external funding. This will enable the project to continue on its own, promote local wisdom, and strengthen the community's social and economic well-being in a sustainable manner.
Due to risk of persecution, we've hidden the name of this church.
