July, 2022 | Micro-Loan Story
Mrs. Raj Kumari Chaudhary is a member of the Parivartan Mother Group. She joined the mother group in 2008. She has two sons and a daughter. Raj Kumari's eldest son is married and has a 24-year-old son.
Raj Kumari was renting a home for her family. Her daughter, Miss Riya Chaudhary, was supported by HI (Humanity & Inclusion) for education before Raj Kumari joined the mother’s group.
After joining the Parivartan Mother Group, she began to attending monthly meetings to learn about starting her own business. She began to share her stories and the difficulties that she had staying in this rented house. All of the Group members decided to work towards owning their own houses rather than renting.
Raj Kumari started her first business with a goat that her daughter had received as part of HI's support iniciatives. This helped the family stay at home and work as goat farmers.
Now her daughter is working as a student program coordinator at the C.P. (Creating Possibilities) Nepal. Her eldest son has gone abroad with these small business loans from the Unako cooperative. Now, both of her sons have jobs and Raj Kumari is able to build an amazing life for herself and her family.
Raj Kumari says that, “My daughter, Riya Chaudhary, has always supported me in managing home loans, and planning and making arrangements for the Puja for the house and every way. So, I would like to sincerely thank all the supportive hands who have always loved me and my family.”
