It was a dream come true for Viliame Sokiveta and his wife after being selected to be part of the first homeowners Zero-Deposit for First Home Buyers initiative that was launched by Merchant Finance to help fulfil the dreams of people who want to own a house.

The Qarani, Gau man and his wife were overwhelmed and could not hold back their emotions as they shared with fijivillage News the well-thought-out initiative by Merchant Finance which is tailor-made for ordinary Fijians like them.

Sokiveta says he is grateful to God for his providence and for this opportunity as it is everyone’s wish to one day own a house, and he is also thankful to Merchant Finance for giving people this sort of product to help them achieve their dreams.

Sokiveta is urging Fijians to take up these kinds of opportunities in order to make their dreams come true.
