Gjon
Gjon's loan finished fundraising,
but these similar borrowers just need a little more help to reach their goals!
A loan helped to add another cow to his three so he can sell more milk and make a better income for his family and save something for his retirement.
Gjon's story
Gjon is a villager from northern Albania. He is a man of honour. Gjon lives on a mountain together with his family, his wife and his two daughters. He is engaged in agricultural activities and has worked hard during all his life to provide enough for his family. He currently has 3 cows, 15 bee hives and 3 pigs. Daily he sells 40 litres of raw milk and 75 kg of raw honey annually. He keeps the pigs for his family's consumption only.
Gjon is asking for the first time for a Kiva loan. He hopes to find your understanding in order to add another cow to his three so he can sell more milk and make a better income for his family. "As long as I am still able to work I will try my best so I can provide for my family and for the period of my retirement, as I won't receive any retirement pension." said Gjon during the interview.
Gjon thanks you all for the support and gives his word that he will pay every loan instalment on time!
