This modest woman is Roza. She is 54 years old and, together with her husband, has raised three children. She received a secondary education, is very thrifty and enterprising by nature, and has been farming since 1990. Her farm presently comprises four cows, a horse, 25 sheep, and a 1.53-hectare plot of irrigated land where she grows various crops according to need.
Roza tries hard to put any accumulated funds toward improving her living conditions, so as to provide her children with a lovely, comfort-filled life. For this reason, she has turned to Bai Tushum Bank for a loan of 100,000 som (KGS), to make partial home repairs. This loan will help improve her family's living conditions and create a life of comfort for her children.
