In many parts of Indonesia, rural families have increasingly had to migrate to find work to support their families.  Pekerti, the Indonesian People's Handicraft Foundation Marketing Service, has been working since 1975 to preserve traditional Indonesian handcrafts skills and to promote income-generating projects among the rural families.
