This wonderful woman Rayakan is 69 years old, married, and raised 6 children who are all grown and independent. She has a secondary education. By nature she is a kind, honest, sweet, and responsive woman. As the main source of income for her family, she has been working with agriculture since 1998. Thanks to her hard work and the help of her husband on the farm, her farm today has 4 cows, 2 horses, and 10 sheep. She has all the conditions necessary to keep livestock on her property.
The region where Rayakan lives is wonderfully suited for raising livestock. Every summer she sends the livestock out to green pastures. In order to further develop her farm, she is asking for a loan from Kiva in the amount of 300,000 som (KGS) to buy cattle with the goal of increasing the size of her herd. This, it goes without saying, will help to increase the productivity of their farm and in this way, their income. Rayakan hopes to get the desired result and build a better life for their family.
