Kuku Usupbekova's Group

This group’s leader, Kuku, has five children and one of her daughters still goes to college. Her neighbor sells bags at a market. She gave Kuku some bags and Kuku sold them. Afterwards she started her own business. Her husband works as a bus driver on the Bishkek – Tokmok route. He purchases packages and thread for her and brings them home.

Kuku needs a loan to purchase chickens. She has already prepared a roost for them. She is planning to increase their number and in future sell eggs, hens and chickens. After saving enough money she wants to raise horses since it is more profitable. Her dream is to travel all around Europe and Asia with her husband.
