Thanh Luong 188 Group's story
Tram is an ethnic minority woman living in the mountainous northwest of Vietnam. She is a mother of two children who are both of school age. In this picture, she is standing on the far right.
Since she wants to take care of her two children and give them a happier life, she and her husband work extremely hard to earn a living. She is busy with farming, cultivating rice and raising poultry and buffaloes. To increase her income, she decided to seek help from supportive Kiva lenders. She takes this loan as her capital to buy a buffalo. Her previous experience of raising buffaloes made her so confident with this plan.
With the profit from this investment, she can further add to her livestock. Her dream is simply for the whole family to be healthy. She and her husband especially must be in good health to be able to work and take care of their two children's lives.
