A loan helped to purchase an electronic sewing machine to improve her business.


Zuhra's story

The 50-year-old Zuhra was born and raised in the town of Shahriston. She is married and lives with her children and husband there. Thirteen years ago, her mother helped her learn to cut, sew, and embroider, and now she decorates dresses and bedding with traditional Tajik embroidery. This is very popular among brides-to-be.

Zuhra wants to buy an embroidery sewing machine to speed up her work process. She is relying on your support and is grateful to you in advance.
