Zarina

This lovely woman is Zarina, who is 41 years old, is married, and is the mother of four. She received a secondary education, and is calm and outgoing by nature. Zarina raises livestock and grows crops as her main contribution to the family income. Thanks to her hard work and her husband's help, her farm presently consists of seven cows, a horse, and 23 sheep. Her home property offers all the conditions for the keeping of livestock, and the area where she lives is eminently well suited to livestock breeding.

Zarina and her husband try hard to give their children a comfortable life and a good education, and to make life generally better for them. With this goal in mind, she has turned to Bai Tushum Bank for a loan of 150,000 som (KGS), to install steam heat in preparation for the coming winter. This loan will help improve her family's living conditions, create a comfortable life for her children, and also save on electricity usage.
