The presence of Multiplication of Stube HEMAT in Sumba which focuses on women, culture, and the digital economy gives a new color to the lives of women in Sumba, especially in Tanatuku village. The program provides understanding and awareness for women to continuously increase their capacity and self-confidence so that they can participate in the development and support the improvement of family economic welfare. The existence of tied weaving as a heritage from generation to generation is one of the tasks to preserve local culture.

The women's weaving group in Tanatuku village, named Kawara Panamung, is a group of young women who are dropped out of school and housewives. The awareness to take part in preserving the weaving culture is the love evidence from the women of Tanatuku village for their local culture. It has been almost two years that they have learned weaving, starting from zero until producing artworks. They are not descendants of weavers or from families of weavers, so they do not learn or practice weaving since childhood. Their daily life is farming during the rainy season and just staying at home in the dry season. There are only four months of the rainy season and the rest is the dry season during a year. At the beginning of the year, the women start to cultivate crops. The consequence is they did not practice weaving for a month because they are busy in their fields, but it did not divert their passion for working as weaving craftsmen.

The group re-gathered to start weaving activities (29/1/2022) after they had finished planting. On that occasion, Elisabeth Uru Ndaya as the program assistant gave an overview of the program what they will do in the following months, what motifs will be designed, preparation for the supply of natural dyes, and preparation of a business platform to help them promote their products immediately. The participants seemed to be more active to speak and express their opinions. Katrina Njola, one of them, motivated her friends, "I've finished planting rice, now I am focusing just on weaving while waiting for the rice grows. All of us have finished planting, so let's get work this thread to become woven cloth," she said with an accent that looked so enthusiastic. All the participants agreed to work enthusiastically for weaving, hoping that the rice they had planted will thrive and no longer be attacked by locusts.

They also hope to continue the construction of the weaving house as their dream place to be free to be creative, in addition to learning new things about the digital market. ***

The soil fertility is fluctuated and even decreasing due to monoculture farming behavior and focusing only one type of plant. Another habit is doing no crop rotation. Such problems also occur among farmers in Lambanapu and the surroundings. The consequences impact of the habits cause the declining quality of food productions. Based from the situation above, Stube HEMAT through multiplication activity discussed with a theme ‘Maintaining soil conservation to realize sustainable agriculture’ (Saturday, 22/01/2022).

From the theme, F.X Bambang Broto Kiswarno, the source person, explained agriculture in harmony with nature and back to nature to maintain and to protect the surrounding environment compared with the farming behavior that destroys it. During the discussion, he revealed the steps how to keep the soil while implanting patterns of monocultures, how to make Trichoderma (functional microorganism as biological fertilizer soil), PGPR (root bacteria that improve plant growth), MOL (starter microorganisms in decomposition and fermentation), and eco-enzymes (organic waste that fermented into organic fertilizer).

This activity took place at Lambanapu with students, church youth, and community activists of horticultural agriculture. In this training, the resource person introduced new things such as PGPR, MOL, Eco-enzymes, and Trichoderma. The participants were so curious and they don’t only recorded the material presented but also practised the process of making PGPR, MOL, Trichoderma, and Eco-enzymes. This method can help them to understand more deeply the material presented.

This training opened the understanding to know the steps how to take care of soil from excessive farming behavior, and participants were able to make PGPR, Trichoderma, Eco-enzymes, and MOL that can use on their farmland.***

There are adolescent girls as victims of promiscuity and pregnancy out of marriage both in urban areas and villages like in the Nggaha Ori Angu district. It happens because teenagers, especially in rural areas, face a transition of values so that they are trapped in promiscuity and premarital sexual behavior. It was accelerated by advancing information technology that is easily accessed bringing both positive and negative impacts.

Adolescent girls need to know the health of their reproductive organs and how to maintain them because they are vulnerable to infection with HIV/AIDs and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Therefore, the problems of adolescent reproductive health need special attention. The Multiplication of Stube HEMAT in Sumba collaborated with Child Fund organization to socialize the issue to the youth in Tanatuku village, considering that they are easily influenced by new things both positive and negative. Ignorance of reproductive issues can lead to pre-marital pregnancies, abortions, free sex, and even drug abuse.

The socialization was held at the Kawara Panamung weaving house by Viktor Ndena from  Child Fund (Friday, 18/01/2023). Some village youth as the caring generation attended the event. They were provided with material on reproductive health and the bad effects of promiscuity. The presenter introduced the reproductive organs belong to both men and women and how to take care of them. After that, he explained what HIV/AIDS is and how it is transmitted, which can occur due to excessive use of needles, frequent changing of partners (sexual intercourse), and blood transfusions contaminated with HIV/AIDS.

On this occasion, Alfin Lestari, a village youth, explained the current youth interaction that affects future life. Yulen Tanggu Hana, a student at STT Lewa, also gave her view on how to be a healthy teenager and free from bad relation. She asked, "Are there any boys here who have girlfriends?" The youths simultaneously answered "Yes" while blushing. Yulen also reminded them to be careful in dating. Viktor once again emphasized the consequences of promiscuity which will impact oneself, such as being ostracized by the environment, experiencing shame, feeling inferior and even having a worse future.

The activity is expected to educate young people in Tanatuku village, so they can understand and maintain reproductive health and can inform their peers around them about reproductive health. ***
