“I was born on April 3, 1972, in Kenjekul village, Kara-Suu Rayon, Osh Oblast. Married with three children and five grandchildren. I married early and couldn't pursue further education. Most of my time was spent on household chores, raising children, and building our home. Financially, things were tough, especially because we had to take out a loan for our wedding. Nowadays, only my son is employed, so I decided to attend the ARIS trainings to support him after he finishes.

During the training, I learned a lot about setting goals, budgeting, saving money, and writing a business plan. I immediately applied this knowledge by creating a financial safety net and planning a business making vitaminized drinks from millet, corn, and rice. Starting from home, I now sell my products in local stores. Before the training, I struggled to save money as I used all my earnings for daily expenses. But now, I've learned to plan and budget wisely. I also teach my children about financial literacy.

I have big plans for the future. I aim to run my business successfully while raising and educating my children. I'm also working hard to increase my production volume.”
