Empowerment of Rural Women in Longhouse at Limbang, Sarawak

The Women Empowerment Project in Sarawak is a long-term CSR initiative supported by Mega Fortris to boost the well-being of Iban women in a native rural area of Sarawak, under the banner of Mega Fortris Jari Indai Cares. The Mendamit Longhouse, which accommodates 43 families and 35 children under the age of 12, is the focus of this empowerment program.

Mega Fortris Jari Indai Cares’ mission is to create sustainable income for families and children. The women in the longhouse are skilful in creating hand-made woven tote bags with native Borneo designs – a unique handicraft product from Malaysia. Mega Fortris Jari Indai Cares ensures that the products produced by the Mendamit Longhouse womenfolk will be marketed through Mega Fortris global subsidiaries. This initiative would further enhance their livelihood by enabling a sustainable income for the women weavers.
