Nepton*
Like many women in her country, Nepton lives a traditional life and does not work outside the home. Yet, she wants to contribute to the family income. Nepton decided to raise chickens and sell the eggs to local shops, which proved successful, and demand grew. Her loan enabled her to grow her flock and increase her business.
"My business grew so large that I now need to use my neighbor's yard, too!"
– Nepton
