Y, 60 years old , a Thai ethnic minority woman wears traditional clothes and stands from the right on picture is the leader of Pa Khoang 67 Group.
Married for 40 years but have accepted their fate, even more, because early on in their marriage, they were diagnosed with infertility so that they adopted the three kids until they're mature. Her family consists of 5 members living in a stilt house in Dien Bien Province where it has high poverty rate.
Her family remains low-income household and living paycheck to paycheck. Everyday, she works hard with activities in agriculture such as planting rice, raising fish and pig.
In order to escape the vicious circle of poverty, she decides to expand their fish farming business but the main hardship is lack of capital. Fortunately, she has taken a loan from the Anh Chi Em program who provide practical training and other support to help fish farmers improve their production and marketing of fish to buy more fingerlings (breeding fishes). This has enabled them to thrive.
She plans to use profit from this investment to pay her tax bill and a portion of profit will repair her house that is being damaged.
She is so grateful to have had this loan from Kiva lenders and the Anh Chi Em program for this loan.
