Syymykbek's story

This young man is called Syymykbek. He is 43 and married with three wonderful children. He considers his wife and children to be the most valuable things in his life. He has a higher education and works as a schoolteacher as his primary source of income; he has also been earning extra money since 2007 through agriculture and animal husbandry. Thanks to his hard work he currently has three cows, five horses and 63 sheep as well as 0.4 hectares of irrigated land.

In order to improve his living conditions, Syymykbek has approached Bai Tushum Bank for a loan of 40,000 to buy building materials to do some insulation work in his home. This will help improve his family's living conditions and make their home more comfortable. He is hoping to make this happen and to build a better life for his wonderful children.
