Included in the above picture are five group leaders from Hmaw Eain (A,B) village group named Maung, Zinthu, Khin, Htay and Win, who will oversee 13 clients in this village.
This village consists of 420 households that are mainly focused on crop farming and livestock breeding. Some of them earn their living by operating grocery shops and running water transportation businesses.
The man in the middle in the picture is Maung, who is 34 years old and married, with three children who are still in school. Like his fellow members, Maung will use his new loan to purchase high-quality duck feed, which will support his ducks to lay more eggs, which he can sell for a good price.
With that profit, he plans to buy fertilizer for his crop land and save for his children’s school fees.
He is a positive man who turns every challenge into an opportunity. With a big smile on his face, he says he feels so proud and happy collecting duck eggs from his farm. As a father, he eagerly wishes his children to be well-educated, and also to have high-paying jobs when they grow up.
