Kalameli is 34 years old and has five daughters. She lives in a small Samoan village with her daughters and husband. Kalameli’s husband is unemployed, so Kalameli is the breadwinner, and it is the income from her mat sales that supports their large family. Kalameli weaves mats and fans according to the traditional Samoan art. She is anxious to secure loan funds so that she can rent out a flea market stall in her village from which she can sell her mats and fans. Currently, she has to transport them to the city for sale, and this is a costly exercise that eats into her margin. Kalameli is certain that there is enough local demand for her product if she can secure a stall at the nearby market.

Kalameli Tilino is one of the good members who loaned from Mutiatele center. When she received her previous loan, she used it to purchase materials for repairing her house for good living, and it was just a small amount she spent on buying materials needed for the production her weaving business. She is very happy of the program because without them, she wouldn’t have been able to make improvements for her house, nor getting money from her own. Kalameli is working very hard on her business to get more money from it and pay up her weekly loan repayments.
