Pranom

Pranom, known to her friends as “Jack,” lives with her husband and three children in a rural area of Northern Thailand. Like many families in her community, she has long relied on farming income that fluctuates with crop prices and seasons.

Artisan hammock weaving has become a vital source of stability for Pranom. Working from home allows her to earn a reliable income while staying close to her children. She uses her weaving earnings to buy food, cover household needs, and support her children’s education, helping ensure they can stay in school rather than seeking risky work elsewhere.

Pranom enjoys the calm rhythm of weaving, often listening to music and chatting with neighbors as she works. She prefers simple, single-color designs and takes pride in weaving the body of each hammock, signing every finished piece herself.

With this loan, Pranom will invest in yarn and supplies so she can continue weaving consistently throughout the year and strengthen her family’s financial security.
