Salamat is 62 years old, a widow, and has four children. She is on a pension. As a source of income for her family, Salamat started working with livestock breeding in 2001. She started a business with an amount of 15,000 som (KGS), and today she has six cows and 15 sheep.
With an aim to further develop her business, she turned to the bank "Bai Tushum" for a loan in the amount of 150,000 som (KGS) to purchase sheep and hay. The income from the loan will allow Salamat to develop her business and increase the family's well-being.
