Forcep

Forcep is a hardworking mother who supports her family through her weaving business. Using traditional skills, she weaves mats and ta’ovala that are highly valued in her community for cultural ceremonies and family occasions. Her business provides a steady income and helps preserve an important cultural tradition.

To grow her business, Forcep needed to purchase white pandanus to maintain the quality of her weaving. She also wanted to build a stall to showcase and sell her products more effectively. To achieve these goals, she applied for a loan. With the support of the loan, Forcep was able to buy white pandanus and construct a stall for her weaving business. This assistance strengthened her business, improved her sales, and allowed her to provide better for her family.
