For eleven years Desak worked with a batik artisan learning all aspects of the process, from wax painting to dyeing. From her, she learned not only the art of batik and textile design but also how to care for her workers. In her workshop, Desak and the older artisans generously teach their art to the younger artisans, preserving for another generation this UNESCO cultural treasure.
Desak Nyoman Parwati has received 3 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $2800 and the most recent for $4000. Proceeds were used to invest in the purchase of textiles and batik dyes to increase production in time for the holiday season.
Through perseverance, Desak has grown her workshop. She now employs members of her family and give jobs to other artisans in her community.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
Desak works hard to care for her three children and does all she can to give them a better life.
This artist has dramatically improved their livelihood by working with NOVICA.
Desak provides for the education of her three children.

"Beautifully made robe and a perfect fit!"
I adore this robe!! The fabric is wonderfully soft and silky, but still has a nice weight to it. The colors are bright and bold. A bonus find is the robe has pockets. I am 5? 2? and 125lbs. I honestly fully expected to have to have this robe tailored to get an appropriate length in the hem and arms, but it fits me perfectly. Could not be happier with my purchase. It came beautifully packaged in a fabric pouch definitely worth saving and even included a sweet card from the artist. I love it! Thank you!!!
