A loan helped to buy supplies and yarn to jump-start her weaving business and increase her income potential.


Maiyee's story

Maiyee is a stay-at-home mother with three children, one boy and two girls. Her children attend the village school, where she hopes a good education will benefit them later in life. As a child, she herself was not able to get as much education as she now wished she had since her labor was often needed in the rice and corn fields of her extended family.

She is very proud of her husband, who is a driver for one of the main delivery services in a nearby city. He was able to pass his driver's test and can read and understand directions he needs to perform his duties. He no longer has to do the hard physical labor needed to do agricultural work with an unpredictable income, a path still followed by many in her village.

Before starting her own hammock-weaving business, Maiyee had no other source of steady income; she only relied on odd jobs for money to meet incidental living expenses. Now, with her hammock business, she will likely make as much as or more than her husband.

Maiyee is eager to jump-start her hammock business this year. This loan will allow her to invest in raw materials and supplies to increase her income potential.


This loan is special because:

It creates employment opportunities for vulnerable populations living in remote rural areas.
