Vaai Upuia, 39, is married with 2 children. She has 4 years of experience in selling traditional necklaces, earrings, and fans. She sells to the villagers/public 2 days per week. Vaai will use this loan to expand her alternative business--a taro plantation--and to make home improvements. She plans to purchase chemicals, fertilizer, timber, sand, and cement.
Vaai has had 3 previous loans with SPBD. She expects her weekly net cash flow to be 200 Tala (about $US83). SPBD loans are Vaai’s only access to capital because she has not been able to qualify for a loan with the traditional banks.
