Bung Lao Group

A loan of $2,225 helps a member to buy chickens.

Thu, 28 years old, is a hardworking woman living in the mountainous area of Vietnam. Her family stays in a stilt house and is considered a household in poverty by the government. Being illiterate and acknowledging that weakness, Thu wants all her kids to go to school and study properly.

To make a living, she and her husband are currently cultivating rice. Besides that, she has also been raising chickens for three years, which makes her proud. She can provide for the chickens with her homemade feed which means that she can not only save a large amount of money on feed but also ensures that her chickens are healthy and fat. She sometimes meets difficulties when her chickens get diseases but it never discourages her spirit.

Thu plans to use this loan to continue buying and raising chickens. She hopes that she can afford for her children to finish their studies at school and they will have a brighter future.
