Features

“I learned to weave as a little child. I would see my parents weaving, and I learned from them. If my children want to learn, I will teach them. I love weaving so much, I don’t feel fatigue. I know it tires me, but since I love it, it doesn’t bother me.”

Honore, internally displaced loom weaver in Burkina Faso
