Community Need, Poverty

The venture provides jobs with flexible working hours and locations to harness single mothers’ productivity, allowing them to learn new intangible cultural heritage skills and reintegrate into society, thereby improving their financial situations and boosting their confidence. Meanwhile, it also enables the nearly lost intangible cultural heritage skills, especially the traditional Hakka weaving craft skills, to be passed down.
