Bashir Ahammd is 35 years old, married and has three children. For the last ten years he has run a small embroidery and tailoring shop. For a long time, he ran it by himself; now he employs two people and business is good.

He has applied for a loan of 40,000 Afghani to expand his shop and build a better life for his family.

In a few years, he would like to run a big store and have clients all over Kabul. He would like to thank Kiva and AFSG for their support, and extends special thanks to Kiva lenders around the world for the help they provide to poor people.

Bashir Ahammd after the loan Entrepreneur: Bashir Ahammd Location: Kabul, Afghanistan Bashir Ahammd’s tailor shop has been very busy for the upcoming holiday season. Orders have risen over the past few months as people prepare for the all of the festivities and parties in December. Even with a baby girl in tow, Bashir still makes time for his business. His tailor had to plead with his to hire an assistant, as the tailor is overwhelmed with all of the orders! Bashir is looking forward to the end of the holiday season, so as to have a slight break from all the work, but he is also looking forward to the profit and good fortune that it will bring. Thanks all lenders, Kiva and AFSG in Afghanistan
