Sua

Sua is an artisan hammock weaver with a vision for a brighter future. While she has been somewhat more successful than many of her neighbors financially, Sua recognizes that her income options have remained limited in her rural village. Determined to change that, she is eager to rely on hammock weaving as her full-time livelihood.

Sua began learning the craft about a year ago and has spent much of that time helping others meet their production demands. Now, she feels ready to strike out on her own and establish her own hammock business. With a dedicated weaving room already set up in her home, Sua is well-positioned to grow her venture and make it a sustainable source of income.

In her community, traditional slash-and-burn farming has long been a common way of life. However, this practice is both physically demanding and increasingly unsustainable due to environmental degradation and limited land. Hammock weaving offers Sua a safer, more stable alternative that can break the cycle of poverty for her family.

With this loan, Sua will purchase the yarn and supplies needed to expand her business, enabling her to weave consistently and increase her income. Her ultimate goal is to create a reliable livelihood that supports her family’s needs while allowing her to work from home. Your support will help Sua achieve financial independence and turn her dream into a reality.
