Thanks to your support we are able to sponsor an additional business entrepreneur through Kiva. We are always so excited to share some of the incredible opportunity that we have in this country with those elsewhere who may just need a little boost.
On behalf of team Bloggers we have choosen to sponsor Mr. Sherali Nurov from Abdurahmon Jomi, Tajikistan. Mr Nurov is skilled in animal husbandry and hopes to use this loan to purchase additional cattle to grow his business.
Here is the full translated description: Sherali Nurov lives in the A. Jomi region. He is 42 years old; married with one child. Sherali has worked in animal husbandry for over 20 years. He fattens up and sells livestock. Sherali breeds the animals in a space build specifically for this purpose. He is requesting the loan to purchase cattle.

Description of Tajikistan from Lonely Planet: A Persian-speaking outpost in a predominantly Turkic region, Tajikistan is in many ways the odd one out in Central Asia.
With its roots in ancient Sogdiana and Bactria, the modern country is a fragile patchwork of clans, languages and identities, forged together by little more than Soviet nation-building and the shared hopes for a peaceful future. That peace was shattered in the 1990s, when a brutal civil war claimed over 50,000 lives, turning the remote mountainous republic into the bloodiest corner of the former Soviet empire.
Though the wounds are still raw, a decade after the war most Tajiks are moving forward with their lives, as if awakening from a bad dream, and a mood of guarded optimism has returned.
