Shaiyr is successfully repaying the earlier loan and is very grateful to Kiva and to everyone who helped her with financing. She is 60 years old, unmarried and the mother of 2 children, and is now raising 2 grandchildren. Shaiyr has secondary professional education and is a very enterprising and cheerful woman by nature.
The main income for Shaiyr's family has been from her work as a nurse and additionally from the hotel business. She tries to give her grandchildren the best most comfortable life and a good education, so works hard to earn more money. To do so, Shaiyr has turned to Bai-Tushum Bank for a loan of 230,000 som (KGS) to carry out renovations to their guest house to help improve conditions. Thanks to this, Shaiyr will have more customers and increase her income. The tourist season will start very soon and she hopes to make a good income.
