In a small town in Tajikistan, opportunity often comes in small but powerful ways. For a father from a low-income family, that opportunity came through a micro-loan from PO “Fond baroi zindagii behtar”.
For years, he worked odd jobs to support his family, relying on temporary work and unpredictable income. Skilled in welding but unable to afford proper equipment, he dreamed of opening his own workshop—somewhere he could build stable income and offer reliable services to his community. That dream felt out of reach until the Foundation stepped in.

What began as a simple workspace quickly grew into a trusted service point for the neighborhood. Word spread about the quality of his work—repairing gates, crafting metal frames, installing fences, and providing custom welding solutions. Residents appreciated having a skilled, dependable craftsman close by.
