On December 26, 2004, one of the deadliest disasters in history struck Indonesia, killing over 285,000. Survivors were left jobless, homeless and devastated. Seven years later, many still are. Roy and Louise van Broekhuizen launched Laga Handbags to help the people of Indonesia rebuild their lives by selling their hand-made handbags.

Roy & Louise do not take a salary. Their goal is simply to end the suffering; to help the survivors rebuild lives torn apart by the tsunami. In Aceh, Indonesia, Laga Handbags is a haven of hope, peace and refuge for the victims of disaster who are slowly rebuilding their homes and lives, one handbag at a time.
