Project Needs and Beneficiaries
CHF’s High Impact Revitalization of the Economy of Aceh (HIRE-Aceh) program was designed to rapidly resettle survivors and re-engage them in gainful economic activity. One component is focusing on thousands of low-income artisans who lost their only source of income when the earthquake-tsunami struck to help them revitalize their economies and reestablish a sense of normalcy into their lives.
Activities
CHF is working with a national crafts association of local partners to: provide equipment and supplies to artisans, train displaced women to make handicrafts for the local market, and build a regional handicraft training facility.

Potential Long Term Impact
By focusing on the crafts sector, CHF is not only helping economic revitalization but is also preserving Aceh’s very unique cultural heritage which is providing long-term and sustainable sources of income for thousands of low-income artisans.
Project Message
"There is little or no work for people living in displacement camps...but the survivors have a strong will to carry on. They are eager to work and restore their livelihoods."
