Nasiba, a 39-year-old internally displaced person from the region of Nagorno-Karabaka, currently lives in the Absheron region. A single mother of a 14-year-old boy, for the past eight years she has worked as a women's hair stylist, a job she likes very much because of the creativity involved and the way she makes her clients feel. Nasiba says it’s a good job for a woman with little education. Additionally, she works in the library of the local school during the early hours of the day and sells custom-made hair clips to the women in her neighborhood.
Currently, Nasiba’s workspace is small (4 sq. meters). Although her current income sustains her and her son, it does not generate enough income to buy more than very basic necessities. She’d like to use her loan of 2000 AZN to expand her business to attract more clients, hire an employee so that she can spend more time with her son, and be able to send him to university when the time comes.
