In this Group:
Gulzhan Nurdubaeva, Nurzada Bejshekeeva , Baktijar Ashykeev , Dzhanatkul Dzhumalieva , Dilbar Alykulova

Married and the mother of five children, Gulzhan is the leader of the group. She has five children: four daughters and one son. Even though one of her daughters is married and her son has gone to Moscow to work, after having reached the age of forty-seven, she still has to look after her other three daughters, the smallest of whom is just four years old. For the sake of that she is engaged in stock-raising.

Mainly, Gulzhan purchases calves and feeds and resells them. Her husband helps her after work. She started this business twenty-five years ago with just eight dollars. Now her monthly income is 150 dollars!

“Cattle-breeding is not the most profitable business. It is not sitting in a clean office gazing into a monitor, doing accounts. Anyway by raising cattle, we’ve been able to buy a house, furniture, home equipment and even pay for the marriage of our eldest daughter,” says Gulzhan proudly.

Currently, Gulzhan needs a loan to increase her livestock population, fatten it up and resell it. In the near future she is going to have a new shed built and a hay-loft, as well as finishing the building of her house, buy her son a car and pay for another daughter’s wedding.

Gulzhan has four partners: Nurzada, Baktijar, Dilbar and Dzhanatkul. Dzhanatkul works as a cook at a school lunch room. The rest are occupied with cattle-breeding. All the members need loans mainly to purchase more livestock, so that they can resell it later.

Nurzada inherited four sheep and one cow. Now she has ten sheep and two cows. She wants a shed to store fodder, after buying a car to get married.

Baktijar started with buying sheep. Then he bought horned cattle. For the moment he has sheep, oxen and a horse.

Dilbar and her husband used to save money to buy cattle. Now theу have a cow, a calf and sheep. She wants to buy a car and pay for her son’s marriage.

Years ago Dzhanatkul bought a cow which provided seven liters of milk a day. Now she has three cows and gets twenty liters a day.
