A loan helped to buy a variety of kilos of raffia, bast fibre and Tetron fabric.


Zoliarisoa's story

Zoliarisoa is thirty-eight years old. She is married and the couple has five children, of whom the four youngest are still in school. Since 2010, Zoliarisoa has been making and selling raffia and bast fibre baskets. She handles sales by order or delivery, since most of her customers are tourists. In order to catch up on customer orders, Zoliarisoa has asked for funding to buy raw materials necessary to make extra raffia and bast fibre baskets. Her goal is to make her business known all around the world.
