Each month, Girls Can’t WHAT? gives 20% of its profits to support women-owned businesses through KIVA loans.
Thanks to all who purchased gifts items from Girls Can’t WHAT? last month. With the funds, we were able to help Agyun from Baku City, Azerbaijan get a few steps closer to her dream. Agyun hopes to design shoes of her own one day as she really enjoys drawing and designing different styles of shoes on paper. Read her story below:
Agyun is 26 years old and lives in Baku with her mother and 13 year-old brother. She is not married.
As her mother is sick and cannot work, Agyun is the sole provider for her family. Her job is selling shoes in a small store. She has been doing it for the past 5 years.
Agyun is seeking a loan of 2000 AZN to buy wedding shoes and purses to resell in her shop, since summer in Azerbaijan is a popular season for weddings.
If you’d like to help other women around the world support themselves, their families and improve their communities, join us on KIVA and change the world one loan at a time.
