Talofa and welcome to Women in Business!

Women in Business Development Inc is an organisation dedicated to strengthening village economies in Samoa in ways that honour indigenous customs, use traditional and modern technology, and promote fair trade. We assist families to earn an income where they live with the resources they have.

We believe sustainable development cannot happen without due consideration to culture, tradition and context in which they were developed.

What does earning a cash income mean for families in rural Samoa?

These families now have a chance to participate in a cash economy. For many, this means being able to send children to school, to pay utility bills and, importantly, to feel better that they have control over their lives instead of waiting for family overseas to send money.

What does an income-earning rural sector mean for a country?

On a national scale, the people of Samoa are using their skills, experience and time to uplift themselves and their communities. They become productive and innovative. Through their collective industry they are contributing to Samoa's success as a nation.
