Leaving school at young age is not good, especially for those who do not have jobs. Leilani left school when she was only 16 years of age. She is very talented. She makes prints and paints lava lava and puletasi (traditional Samoan garments). However, Leilani does not have enough mone to buy the fabrics and paints needs to run her business. She joined the SPBD program last week to get a loan to start her business of elei printing. She will use the money to help pay her family's needs.

Leilani had paid off her loan and has decided not to join in the program anymore. She was in Vaipuna center but is very thankful that she was given the oppurtunity to get financial assistance from us.
