A loan of $1,050 helps to purchase filo and ribbons needed for making kiekie and salusalu, and also a new tent and stove for her business.

Luseane's story
Luseane is a hardworking mother who runs a business of making kiekie [traditional ornamental garment] and salusalu [traditional garland] to support her family. Through her skill and dedication, she creates traditional handicrafts that are sold to her community, providing an important source of income. However, limited capital has made it difficult for her to purchase enough materials and improve her business setup.
To strengthen and grow her business, Luseane applied for a loan to help her purchase filo and ribbons needed for making kiekie and salusalu, as well as a new tent and stove for her business. With the support of the loan, she will be able to produce more handicrafts, operate in a safer and more efficient environment, attract more customers, and increase her income.
This support will help Luseane continue providing for her family while growing her business sustainably.
