weaving together technology, tradition and trade...
Talofa and welcome to Women in Business!
We are a small, Samoan, not-for-profit non government organisation. We focus on providing opportunities for rural and vulnerable people and families to earn an income where they live and with the resources they have at their disposal.
We identify opportunities for income generation and provide rural families with on-going training, supervision and support; provide access to microfinance; assist with organic and fair trade certification to international standards; and facilitate links between rural communities and global markets.
We firmly believe that sustainable development cannot happen without due consideration to culture, tradition and context, and so our programmes very much reflect the cultural context in which they were developed.
We invite you to read more about our organisation, our various projects and the products available through us in the following pages.
