A loan helped to buy fabric and thread to expand her sewing business.


Sarvinoz's story

The 42-year-old Sarvinoz, who lives in the city of Levakand, is married and has three children. A talented and experienced seamstress, she has a home-based tailoring business, which provides her with her livelihood.

For five years now, Sarvinoz has been practicing the craft of gulduzi, a form of folk art that expresses itself in the embroidering of patterns on fabric. Sarvinoz learned this craft from her mother and is grateful to her for that.

Today, Sarvinoz is planning to expand her business. She intends to buy fabric and thread with the loan proceeds. She will be very grateful to you for your support.
