Torque Atelier is working with Good Return over the next 4 days to meet rural women across parts of Viti Levu who are trying to access financial assistance through their partners like Merchant Bank of Fiji (via the newly introduced Marama Finance.)

Good Return is a social purpose organisation working across the Asia Pacific region, enabling women and their families to access opportunities and build financial security. Their focus is to provide responsible finance to local entrepreneurs, as well as education and business training to women and other excluded groups to build confidence and financial capability. The result is a growing generation of empowered women entrepreneurs, taking control of their finances, their livelihoods and their futures.

We had the privilege of meeting members of Vakabalea Women's Cooperative today in Navua.
