A loan helped to purchase an embroidery sewing machine and fabric to expand her business.


Safarmo's story

Safarmo is 43 years old and married. She lives with her husband and son in the city of Kulob. Safarmo earns her own living by working as a seamstress. For more than 10 years, Safarmo has been sewing women's traditional dresses to order. She not only sews dress, but also does traditional embroidery called popur. With spring on its way, Safarmo has received many orders and had decided to expand her business and buy a new sewing machine and special fabric. Unfortunately, she cannot do this because she does not have enough money. Safarmo would really like to buy a new sewing machine and truly needs your support.
