Lilis Suryani: “I want to share my knowledge and skills with my communities”

The aftermath of the tsunami which hit the Mentawai Islands in 2010 had significant impact on local communities of Mentawai, including Lilis Suryani and her family. It became very difficult to attain a decent income as the residents from her village had relocated to higher ground, leaving their previous jobs in Bulasat village and resulting in a profit decrease.
