Kasira, 56, is married and has 3 children. She has a secondary education and by nature she is hardworking, purposeful and enterprising. She understands agricultural technologies, and she knows how to invest money in this area.
Kasira has been engaged in animal husbandry as the main income for her family since 1993. Thanks to her tireless work and responsible approach to business, she has been able to develop her farm to 4 cows and 42 sheep. There is also 1.05 hectares of irrigated land on which she grows alfalfa.
With the goal of further developing her farm, she has applied to Bai Tushum Bank for a loan of 170,000 som (KGS) for the purchase of dairy cows in order to increase sales of organic milk and income from livestock breeding.
She is planning to invest the income from the loan towards the further expansion of her business.
