Palu

Palu is a hardworking mother who supports her family through her tapa cloth business. Every day, she carefully prepares mulberry and creates tapa cloth with skill and patience, continuing a craft that has been passed down through generations. Her tapa business is her main source of income and helps provide for her family’s daily needs. As her business grew, Palu needed support to purchase enough mulberry for her tapa-making and to cover the cost of shipping her products for export.

To strengthen her business and reach more customers overseas, she applied for a loan. With the support of the loan, Palu was able to buy sufficient mulberry and pay for the freight to export her tapa cloth. Her business grew, her income became more stable, and she felt encouraged as she continued providing for her family and sharing her craft with the wider world.
