SINAGTALA is a beacon of the hope for women and children in conflict zones in the southern Philippines.

Their students, once war survivors, now tell their stories through the patterns they create.
Sima, their collection of fabrics, is quintessence of Sinagtala's movement to redefine femininity as both powerful and graceful.
HARVEST, a Creative Community Hub under BAYO Foundation, is weaving for peace to provide economic opportunities to women and their families.
