She faces difficult living conditions and a small salary, but her heart is kind and her temper is good. She is Ugulsapar from Tajikistan. She is 37 years old and is married with four children at home. For more than 10 years, she has been involved in raising crops like potatoes, wheat, carrots, etc. She sells her crops in the market. Because she has good quality produce, her goods are in high demand. Her husband is a migrant worker in the Russian Federation and Ugulsapar takes care of the family and runs the business herself. With the goal of providing for her family's needs, she wants to increase her business, so she will need higher crop yields. She is asking for a loan of 3,000 somoni to buy mineral fertilizer and seeds. Ugulsapar will use the income from her increased business to pay for her children's education and to improve their living conditions. She needs and awaits your kindness.
