About Us

Welcome to Toko Matenhun!

We are a small, passionate team based in Raja Ampat, Indonesia – one of the most extraordinary island regions on Earth.

Matenhun means "from Nature." The initiative was founded by and for the people of Raja Ampat, especially the Maya community, as a response to the collapse of tourism during the pandemic. Its goal: to create new, independent sources of income in close cooperation with Reef Guardian e.V. and YKRA.

Matenhun offers hand-made textiles and carefully selected products created in harmony with our local environment and community. Every item is made or curated with respect for nature, tradition, and fair collaboration.

Beyond being a store, Matenhun serves as a central hub for local activities: boats transport goods and agricultural products between villages, machines such as oil presses are shared for small-scale production, and finished products are collected and brought to market.

In this way, Matenhun has become a network for collaboration and creativity across Raja Ampat – inspiring new ideas, business models, and ways of working together.

We believe in genuine connections, sustainability, and honest business – no buzzwords, just real people and authentic products.

Thank you for supporting local artisans and helping us preserve the living heritage of Raja Ampat.
