Timor-Leste

Timor-Leste (East Timor) lies amongst the isles of the Malay Archipelago, north of Australia. Courageously gaining independence in 2002, its people are now working to reduce poverty and build a sustainable economy. Although Timor-Leste is considered the poorest nation in Asia, its riches lie in culture and community.

Timor-Leste
Tradition and custom have survived centuries of colonization and war. One such tradition is the practice of hand-weaving cloth known as Tais. This important practice brings generations of women together, reflecting the strong sense of community still alive in Timor-Leste despite decades of violence, oppression and extreme poverty.
