Brand Timor
What can a coconut husk become in the hands of a Timorese woman? A bag. A hat. A business. Through the Brand Timor initiative, we transform Timor-Leste’s most valuable natural resources, coconut, cocoa, and vanilla, once often overlooked, into products of genuine quality and meaning, supported by the ILO and the European Union.
