Empowers Orang Asli women by creating sustainable income opportunities through quality handcrafted goods.

The Asli Co. empowers Orang Asli women in Malaysia by offering sustainable income opportunities through the production and sale of handcrafted goods. Starting with just one mother crafting cement pots, the initiative has expanded to over 30 active mothers and a diverse product line.

The Asli Co. supports 75 indigenous mothers from 8 villages, providing training, equipment, and materials for handicraft production. Their long-term vision is to fully fund their NGO, AJAR Society, which offers free tutoring and rewards for Orang Asli children, promoting both economic self-sufficiency and education.
