A loan helped to purchase a computerized sewing machine and start a new sewing business.


Farzona's story

Farzona, a hardworking, enterprising young woman from Yavan, is married and is raising two children. Her mother taught her to sew, and at 30 years of age, Farzona has taken up a new profession, one that involves cutting and sewing traditional Tajik women's dresses.

Since her husband had to leave and become a migrant worker in the Russian Federation in order to provide for his family, Farzona has also decided to start earning money rather than sitting idle. She has decided to launch her own tailoring business, which she will operate from her home. She is seeking a loan to buy a computerized sewing machine, so she can get straight to work. The profits from her sewing business will greatly improve her family's life.
