Transitioned from tailoring to weaving
Rohanita, a full-time housewife living in PPR Lembah Subang 2 since 2017, previously did small-scale tailoring but stopped due to eyesight issues. She joined Hara Makers, initially making soap and candles before discovering her passion for weaving plastic waste into useful items.
Through Hara Makers, she learned to weave bags and earn an income, which has significantly improved her financial independence. She now saves and sorts plastic waste, involving her children in recycling efforts. Before joining, she disposed of all waste in bins, but now she recognizes the value of upcycling.
With Hara Makers, Kak Ita not only earns an income but also serves as a facilitator assistant in workshops, meeting new people, and engaging in meaningful activities. She loves sharing her work with friends and inspiring others to see the potential of recycled materials.
