Budgeting, product pricing, profit-and-loss calculations, financial planning, and effective marketing strategies are new skills 20 women are walking away with.
These women were part of the Samoa Victims Support Group (SVSG) Nofotane Project’s Financial Literacy and Marketing Training.
The training was made possible through the support of the British High Commission and was facilitated by respected local businesswoman Afioga Liliolelagi Annette, who shared practical insights and real-life experiences in entrepreneurship, financial management, and business marketing.
“The one-day training provided participants with valuable knowledge on budgeting, product pricing, profit and loss calculations, financial planning, and effective marketing strategies,” said SVSG president Siliniu Lina Chang.
“A key highlight of the training was the realisation among many participants that while they had been actively selling products such as vaisalo and other homemade goods to support their families, they had often overlooked important business costs such as ingredients, labour, transportation, and time.
