Alola Esperansa
Alola Esperansa is Alola Foundation's fair-trade business arm. Esperansa sources high quality textiles from weavers across the country and manufactures textile products for sale in Timor-Leste and abroad. Esperansa recently opened its third Dili store, in Timor Plaza, adding to existing outlets in the Nicolau Lobato International Airport and beside the main Alola office in Mascarenhas.
In addition to tais - traditional hand-woven textiles - and tais products, Alola Esperansa's stores contain traditional wood cravings, baskets, books, coffee, jewellery, postcards and dolls with a view to providing producer groups with access to retail markets and sustainable sources of income.
