Who they are
The Habu are a small Indigenous group living in the mountains of Timor-Leste, with strong community and family ties. They preserve their own language, Habun, an Austronesian language that expresses their rich local identity. Their daily lives revolve around traditional farming and village life, where mutual support sustains each generation.
