This sweet young lady with a beautiful smile is Nariste. She is 25 years old and married, and raising a daughter. She has secondary education. As the primary source of income for her family, she has been practicing animal husbandry and plant agriculture since 2017. Thanks to her hard work and the help of her spouse, her farm currently has 1 cow and 1.48 hectares of irrigated land on which she grows organic potatoes and barley. With the goal of further developing her farm, Nariste is asking Kiva for support in the amount of 80,000 somoni (KGS). This will be used to purchase dairy cows with the goal of increasing her income from sales of organic milk. The profits from the loan will help her expand her farm by increasing the headcount of pedigree dairy cows. It will also help her build a new shed for keeping her cattle.
