A loan helped to purchase dairy cows to increase organic milk sales.


Kalima's story

Dear Kalima expresses her gratitude to the Kiva Foundation and all her lenders for the previous funding they provided to her. Now she has decided to apply for funding again and hopes for a positive result. Kalima is married and the mother of 5 children. She has a secondary education. By nature she is a kind and sympathetic woman.
For her family's main income, she has farmed livestock and crops for many years. Thanks to her hard work, her farm now has 2 cows, 15 sheep, and 2 horses. To further develop her business, Kalima again turned to Bai-Tushum Bank for a loan of 150,000 soms (KGS) to purchase dairy cows to increase organic milk sales. The income from the loan will help improve her family's financial condition and expand her farm.

Translated from Russian by Kiva volunteer Marren Haneberg.
