Miriama and her husband are very talented, and they decided to leverage these talents to support their family. With help from an SPBD loan, Miriama was able to launch a real jewelry-making business. She is asking for additional funds to upgrade the tool set she and her husband use to make their wares. They make necklaces, earrings, hair combs and bracelets. Most of their products are made from material native to Samoa – for instance, they make much use of coconut shells in their designs. Their products are sold in handicraft stalls that cater to tourists and locals alike.

Journal for Miriama Fuiava
 
Entrepreneur: Miriama Fuiava
Location: Vailoa Uta, Samoa

Miriama has been running her jewelry business for more than three years. Her previous loan she received from SPBD was used to pay for her supplies ordered from her daughter living in Rarotonga that she sells out to the locals. She makes good money out of this business and is greatful for the assistance made available to her.
