Using traditional skills, she creates mats, ta’ovala, and other woven products that are valued in her community for cultural ceremonies and family occasions.

To continue growing her business, 'Ofeina needed to purchase enough pandanus to maintain the quality and quantity of her woven products. She also wanted to invest in a new car to support her family’s livelihood, making it easier to transport materials and deliver products. To achieve these goals, she applied for a loan. With the support of the loan, 'Ofeina was able to buy pandanus for her weaving business and purchase a new car. This assistance strengthened her business, improved her family’s mobility, and allowed her to provide better for her household.
