Garden of Plenty

Garden of Plenty: A Papua New Guinean Path to Family Wealth and Small Enterprise

🌱 FREE DOWNLOAD 🌱

Is your fortnight's income disappearing before the fortnight ends? Have you ever thought about starting a small business — a trade store, a market stall, a chicken project — but didn't know where to start with the numbers?

Garden of Plenty is a practical, easy-to-follow guide written specifically for Papua New Guinean families. No confusing jargon, no theory that doesn't apply to real life here — just simple, step-by-step guidance using real PNG settings, real Kina figures, and everyday PNG examples.

Inside this book, you'll learn how to:

• Work out exactly what your family needs each fortnight, month, and year
• Build a simple family budget that actually works
• Save the PNG way — from the home savings box, to susu/wok bung groups, to a BSP account, to Nasfund
• Avoid the debt traps that quietly drain hardworking families
• Test a business idea before spending a single Kina, with worked examples like betelnut stands, chicken projects, and trade stores
• Price your goods, keep customers, and manage business money separately from family money
• Grow a livelihood into a real, sustainable enterprise
• Balance wantok and customary obligations without losing control of your finances

Whether you're a gardener with surplus produce, a market vendor, a public servant trying to plan ahead, or someone dreaming of starting your first business — this book was written with you in mind.

This book is completely FREE. No cost, no catch.

Download your copy, share it with your family and wantoks, and start building your own garden of plenty — one small step at a time.

"One garden is never enough. Plant a second and a third, until every need of the family is met."
