Agriculture for Chen Nguyen in Vietnam (Help_080202_74890)

I chose to help a lady from Vietnam as my first project with Kiva.


Ms. Nguyen Thi Chen is 54 years old. Her family has 5 children, all are grown. Joining TYM fund in 1994, she borrowed money to invest in raising pigs. In 2005, thanks to improved family income, she was able to purchase a machine to grind rice for the local community. Presently, with income from raising pigs at 297 USD, rice grinding and her husband's salary, her family's income is improving every day. For her next loan, she wishes to borrow 475 USD to invest in raising pigs and chickens.

You can read her project and you can support her by joining Kiva
