Naritsara

Naritsara is an artisan hammock weaver who has been honing her craft for the past five years, often helping her mother produce high-quality hammocks. Living in a rural village, she weaves on a small incline beside her home, a testament to her determination and resourcefulness. Recently, Naritsara decided to strike out on her own and establish her own hammock business.

Her primary motivation is to maximize her income to provide a better life for her family. Naritsara dreams of affording a more comfortable home and securing a brighter future for her children. Hammock weaving offers her a reliable source of income that allows her to work close to home while managing her family responsibilities.

In her community, traditional slash-and-burn farming has long been the primary livelihood. However, this practice has become increasingly unsustainable due to shrinking land availability, environmental challenges, and health risks. Like many in her village, Naritsara sees artisan hammock weaving as a safer, more sustainable path out of poverty.

This loan will help Naritsara purchase yarn and supplies to grow her weaving business, enabling her to work more consistently and increase her profits. With your support, she hopes to transform her weaving venture into a stable source of income that will uplift her family and improve their living conditions.
