Working in the Oecusse District

Timor Aid has been working in Oecusse since 1999 with an office based in the district centre of Pantekmakassar.
Oecusse has a strong weaving tradition and a diverse range of textile production techniques are still used today. Timor Aid has been working with weavers in Oecusse since 2005 to preserve and promote this textile art. Other projects in recent years include literacy and numeracy training for women, trauma healing training and youth civic education.
Timor Aid is currently delivering three projects in Oecusse:
Working with Weavers
Working to prevent Malaria
Youth and Justice
