“... It was very hard to raise up a family if none of them can get a job to rely on...” That is what Mrs. Saolotoga believed. She is married with five children. She joined the SPBD program at the end of 2006, and received a loan of 750ST. The money was used to start a business of selling pancakes and snacks to the people, especially to the school children. She bought a brand new kerosene oven, flour for making pancakes and snacks for her business.

She mentioned that she can now get some more money to help out in her family needs and especially supporting her five kids. She wants another loan for repairing her house to upgrade and improve their living condition, and believes that she would like to be an SPBD member for a long time because she believes they help her the most.

Business is going well!
 
Entrepreneur: Aigatupu Saolotoga
Location: Vaitoloa, Samoa

Aigatupu started a pancake business with her loan six months ago. The loan allowed her to purchase an oven, cooking oils, and flour. She runs her business five days a week, making pancakes each morning then selling them in the afternoon to adults and children. She has five children, three of whom are at Elementary school. The profits from the business pay for their school fees. She is happy with her business success.
