Zhibek's story

This lovely woman called Zhibek is 71 years old, married and has 2 children. By nature she is a goal-oriented and thrifty woman.
As a main source of her income, Zhibek has been breeding livestock for 45 years. Thanks to her hard work and her husband's help with the farm, currently she has 15 cows,10 sheep and 3 hectares of irrigated land where she grows different crops on demand. At her property all conditions are met for keeping livestock. The area where Zhibek lives perfectly fits for breeding livestock.
With the goal of further developing her farm, Zhibek turned to Bai-Tushum Bank for a loan in the amount of 100,000 som (KGS) to buy various cattle in order to increase her cattle headcount. This will undoubtedly help to increase the productivity of the farm and, therefore, their income. Zhibek hopes to achieve the desired goal and create a better life for her family.
