Yati's Tikar

YATI'S STORY


Yati is our maid. Together with her sisters Ina and Ema, they dropped out of school since primary school to work as maids in our home to help their parents to pay for their 3 other younger brother and sisters' school needs. Yati loves her family, and hope that her younger siblings could have better live than her.

Yati's father works in someone's farm and her mother stays at home and make these Tikars. They live in a small village called Bunian in the wet lands of East Sumatra, an area that is considered poor and the communities are still undeveloped.

These tikars are made from Pandan leaves. During the making, each leaf is carefully handcrafted by a loving mother of 6, Yati's mother.
