A loan of $1,725 helps to buy raw materials to grow her hammock weaving business.
Orraphan's story
Orraphan has moved from village to village, seeking more stable work opportunities.
Although she completed school through ninth grade, she has never worked in the city and prefers to stay rooted in a rural community close to family.
Like many women in Northern Thailand, Orraphan has faced limited employment options as traditional farming becomes increasingly unreliable.
Artisan hammock weaving offers her a dependable source of income and the chance to build long-term stability. She values the flexibility of weaving and hopes to steadily grow her skills and production over time.
With this loan, Orraphan will invest in raw materials so that she can weave consistently, strengthen her income and take the next steps toward expanding her hammock weaving business.
