Kurmanzhan

Kurmanzhan, age 29, is married and is the mother of three children. She has a higher education and works as a teacher at a local school. She is forgiving and kind by nature. She is engaged in animal husbandry and crop farming as an additional source of income for her family. Thanks to Kurmanzhan's hard work and her husband's help, her farm currently has seven cows and a 1.98-hectare plot of land where she grows clover and perennial grasses.

In order to further develop her business, Kurmanzhan applied to Bai Tushum Bank for a loan of 100,000 som (KGS) to buy livestock in order to increase her income from raising livestock. Kurmanzhan plans to invest profits from the loan in the expansion of her farm.
