Faasulu's story
Faasulu is a 39-year-old single woman with three children. She runs a business of selling taro and bananas in her community to earn a living. She has three years of experience with this business. Faasulu works very hard to please her customers with her fresh taro and bananas. She believes she will earn more income if she plants more bananas and taro, but in order to do this, Faasulu needs a loan to buy seedlings, chemicals, a backpack sprayer and a chainsaw to help her run the business. She even delivers her products to the flea market by using the bus. She comes from a family where no one else is able to work to earn a living so only her business will help her family meet their needs. Her dream is that one day her family will have a better standard of living.
