The following is a short film highlighting the art of carpet weaving in Fekha. This skill was slowly being lost until SPNL decided to revive this skill with the help of an old woman in the village that still acquires this skill and trained 30 other women in nearby villages. This initiative was made possible under the project “Promoting Hima Women Empowerment for Conservation and Livelihood” funded by the UN Women Fund for Gender Equality.
