Ms. Nu turned her dream into reality by starting a bamboo business with a microloan. Her growing income now supports her children’s education and transforming her family’s future.

Daw Yin was struggling to pay her debts and support her children's education needs. Lockdowns and travel restrictions affected small-scale farmers like her in Myanmar as they could no longer afford farming materials. Microfinance lifted her up with loans with which she could improve her harvest and family's income. 

Daw Pyone is expanding her farm, raising pigs, and making bamboo buckets - so that her daughter's dream of becoming a police officer comes true. Microfinance has been paving way for her to venture into small businesses even in the midst of the pandemic and political unrest.
