A Future for Her Children

Yam Rana was married 13 years ago and has a daughter and a son. She and her husband struggled to provide for their family which meant they could not send their children to school. She heard about the My Business My Freedom Program and attended an orientation session. This was an opportunity she knew would help her to grow an income and be able to give her children an education.

After training in budgeting and small business management, Yam Rana received her first microloan in June 2019. She bought four small goats. Within 6 months, the goats were ready to sell and she more than doubled her investment. After repaying her microloan, she received her second microloan and plans to increase the number of goats as well as build a shed for them. As her small business grows and she earns more, she is confident she will be able to enroll her children in school. She is excited to be able to give her children a good future.

Nobody trusted her to give her a loan thinking that she would not be able to pay it back. Now, she is part of a group of women who are accountable to each other and encouraging when they have down days. We think Yam Rana’s smile says it all. The My Business My Freedom Program has changed her life.
