Thatch weaving


Almost every woman on Kaashidhoo has perfected the craft of traditional thatch-weaving from coconut palm leaves.

There is no such thing as a "housewife" in Kaasidhoo because almost all women run a "cottage industry" of thatch weaving at their homes.

The thatches are sold mostly to resort islands but many women make a good income from selling thatch to natives, too.
