The women are from the Nofotane Project, a two-year programme aimed at upskilling women who have married into villages where they no longer have direct family support.
Research from Samoa Victim Support shows these women, who are known as nofotane, are more prone to domestic violence and abuse.
UN Women Samoa's Papali'i Mele Mauala'ivao said the project aimed to economically empower nofotane, help them contribute to their communities and gain a sense of pride.
Papali'i said 5000 women were trained, 500 new entrepreneurs established and 237 villages were reached.
