BKAD

Melolo, East Sumba
We met the good folk at BKAD through our friends at YRM in early 2016.  BKAD was originally set-up by the government as one of a number of small micro-finance organisations, which were required to become independent after 3 years of government support.  BKAD is the only one still operating in Sumba, a testimony to their managerial skills and commitment to the task.  BKAD provides loans to 300 or so weaving groups and supports them further by creating a fair-trade market for their products and providing training to improve their businesses.  We love BKAD's long-term view of community-change and their firm belief that the improvement of Sumbanese life does not need to mean the loss of their culture and traditions.

​We're currently partnering with BKAD to provide training programs to their weaving groups and the wider community.
