Supporting Female Bilum Weavers
The craft of bilum weaving has been passed down to Papa New Guinean women from their mothers and grandmothers across generations. Bilums not only hold great cultural significance, but they also serve as an opportunity to support women's participation in the local economy.
The Diamond Bilum
Diamond design bilums are a symbol of abundance and prosperity. They are traditionally gifted to a newly married woman by her mother, but are also often given as a gift for anniversaries or other special occasions.
Our Cause
Since opening in 2014, Femili PNG has provided over 5,900 survivors of family and sexual violence with access to safe accommodation, law and justice interventions, medical assistance, and more. All bilum sales go directly towards supporting Femili PNG's life-changing services.
