When the life conditions became completely unbearable, Salima went to sell on a market. This was 6 years ago. For the last several years, Salima’s husband has been away working as a seasonal laborer in Russia. He earns very little. The irregular money transfers that he sends are not enough to pay for necessities. Salima has 3 children. One of her daughters is mentally retarded and sits at home. Salima tries anything that might bring extra income. She specializes in sale of dried fruits (apricots and prunes). During the summer, when melons and watermelons appear on the market, Salima switches to sell them. Salima’s older daughter helps her mother to sell. Over the 5 months of being a MicroInvest borrower, Salima demonstrated that MicroInvest loans made a noticeable difference in her business. Salima plans to continue her relationship with MicroInvest, as the loans she receives help her sustain her business.

Translated from Russian by Aleksandr Zhuk, Kiva Volunteer.

Когда условия жизни Салимы стали совсем невыносимыми она вышла на базар торговать. Это произошло 6 лет назад. Ее муж уже несколько лет в России на заработках, но зарабатывает очень мало. Деньги высылает нерегулярно, и присланных не хватает на жизнь. У Салимы 3 детей, одна из дочерей умственно отсталая в развитии, и сидит дома. Салима старается заниматься всем тем что приносит прибыль. Основная направленность – это продажа сухофруктов (чернослив, абрикосы). В летний сезон, когда на базаре появляются арбузы и дыни Салима, переходит на их продажу. В торговле ей помогает ее старшая дочь.

Кредитуется 5 месяцев и за это время займы Микроинвест внесли заметный вклад в ее бизнес. Салима и дальше собирается сотрудничать с Микроинвест, так как займы помогают ей поддержать ее бизнес.
