Tina Isitolo is a middle-aged woman who works hard to develop her family. She’s forty-six years old and a mother of four children. Tina really has the skills for running a small business. She started off with a canteen selling buns, donuts, ice-cake and banana chips at her village school. “It is really a hard job to do everyday” Tina says that she’s being doing it almost two years now. She’s running her business project and she said she can do better than that. Her dreams came true is when she used her loan to run the daily canteen at her village school into a well organized new shop. Tina just opened her shop a couple of months ago and she said her sales each day are fine and she has a strong feeling that she is going to enlarge her shop in the near future.

Business going strong!
 
Entrepreneur: Tina Isitolo
Location: Fasitoo Uta, Samoa

Tina's shop is going really well. The loan has enabled her to increase her stock of general household supplies and food. This increased sales and she currently makes about 500 Tala (220 USD) profit per week. The shop is open 6am to 9pm. Her cousin also works in the shop to help manage the long hours. Tina has five children and uses the income to support her family.
