Umme Habiba

Umme Habiba is an embroidery artisan who learnt the art of fultola (traditional Rohingya stitching) in Arakan from her sister. At the camp, she worked for RCMC where her favourite projects were “Missing Persons” and “Pillow with Dream”. Although she felt happy to become financially independent through doing fultola, after getting married in summer 2020 Umme Habiba discontinued working for RCMC, since her husband❜s house was faraway. Still, she continues her fultola, hoping to inspire others around her.
