The Marama Co-operative Society, Fiji
Daphne Vakacegu | Malcolm Harper
Members of the YWCA in Suva, Fiji, first invested their money in the Marama Co-operative in the hope of demonstrating that indigenous Fijians could run a successful garment-making business. The society has now been operating for eight years and has a mixture of non-working members whohave made an investment, paid working members, and paid workers who are not members. Although it has not been the beneficiary of any concessions the society has expanded economically and fulfilled a business training role as well as providing employment for skilled tailors.
