Malia

Malia runs a thriving tapa-making business, creating beautiful cloths that carried deep cultural value. As demand for her work grew, she needed more mulberry for bark cloth and rolls of tapa-paper to keep up with orders. To support her business, Malia applied for a loan to buy the mulberry and import the tapa-paper. When her loan was approved, she secured her supplies and increased her production. With more materials on hand and the support of this loan, Malia met customer demand and continued to share her craft with the community. The loan helped her strengthen her business and preserve a proud tradition while providing the needs of her family.
