Gerai OA

To document, revive & revitalise the heritage crafts of the Orang Asal, the indigenous minorities in Malaysia. This is done via publications, photos, workshops & sales.

And 100% of the sales monies is returned to the artisan, their businesses or NGOs.

Gerai OA (Indigenous People’s Stall) is a nomadic, volunteer-run stall selling Orang Asal heritage crafts, books, CDs & DVDs by or about the the Orang Asal (indigenous minorities of Malaysia).

The 100% remittance is possible because:
• volunteers pledge to work for free (but indigenous volunteers are paid a token amount)
• sales are carried out at rent-free events or in sponsored spaces
• volunteers absorb operational costs

Gerai OA (the Indigenous People’s Stall) is a volunteer-run stall that doesn’t really exist and we’re not a business nor a social enterprise. We do not have a shop or permanent premise. Or staff.
