Beyond the bills: The grassroots push helping Pacific women rewrite their financial futures

from Sistas, Let's Talk · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

When the average woman stretches her income across food, bills, and family responsibilities, is there anything left to save for the future? Across the Pacific region, organisations are proving the answer can be “yes”. With the right tools and a little financial literacy, women are learning how to grow their savings, build confidence and take control of their financial independence. On Sistas Let's Talk, Natasha Meten explores how three groups are helping women shift their mindset about money and create stronger financial futures.  She speaks with Rebekah Maeniuta from the West ‘Are’Are Rokotanikeni Association in Solomon Islands, Adi Tafuna’i from Women in Business Development in Samoa, and Laumanu Mafi Tonga from the Pacific Islands Investment Forum’s Women in Super Network. Listen to this episode on ABC Radio Australia.
