A loan helped to buy cattle to increase her income from cattle breeding.


Sofiyahan's story

This lovely woman is Sofiyahan. She is 60 years old and married, raising 4 children. She has a high-school education. She has been raising crops and animals since 2000 as the primary income for her family. Thanks to Sofiyahan's hard work and her husband's help with the farm, her farm currently has 3 cows and 3 horses.

In order to further grow her farm, Sofiyahan is seeking assistance from KIVA totaling 150,000 som (KGS) to buy livestock, in order to increase her income from raising livestock and selling organic meat. The income from the loan will help her expand her farm by increasing her headcount of pedigree cows.

Translated from Russian by Kiva volunteer Eugenia Tietz-Sokolskaya.


This loan is special because:

It supports organic farming and includes a lower interest rate.
