I make a living off of my family coffee kiosk. However, with all the electric appliances used in the business, most of the profit went to the energy expenditure. With Taqati loan, I installed a solar energy system which helped decrease my energy bills while my household income increased!

Khalqa worked so hard to have an independent business that generates extra income to contribute to the family expenses and better their living situation.
Khalqa sought the help of Microfund for Women that granted her the needed funding to buy sheep to start her home-based project making dairy products.
Despite the challenges she faced that included her fear of failing and the society’s perception of a working woman, she managed to succeed and turn her neighbors into loyal customers after trying her dairy products, which they described as good in quality and delicious.
When asked about her experience with Microfund for Women, Khalqa praised it and stated that they were the core of her success.
