Amela was born in 1982 and lives in a suburb of Kalesija, an area known for its shepherds, farmers, and goat herders. Amela is married and her husband is employed, earning about 800KM/month (the equivalent of roughly $530USD). She has a two year old son and works in the home, taking care of her child and tending to a garden where she grows vegetables and corn for her family. She also has a cow, from which she sells milk and milk products to her neighbors.



Amela requests a 1,000KM loan from Women for Women International, which she will use to buy baby chickens and food for the chickens to survive the winter. She hopes that she can sell the chickens for meat to generate more income for her family, and also for her to feel more useful in the home. This is her first loan.

Amela is doing very well. She is busy in houshold with painting her house ( a lot of Bosnien women can not wait that winter is over to paint their homes, that is one measure of being a good housewife and Amela is that for sure). She sold her chickens and earned some money from that,not so much, but her house was fool of food whole winter. Amela has still her cow and sells milk and milk products and has monthly income from that. That is her way to increase house budget and feel herself useful for her family.

Thank you lenders!!!!
