There’s a lady in Tajikistan who has a remarkable little business - she buys carrots, chops them up, packs them and sells them at a profit! How enterprising is that? Apparently carrots are a major ingredient of plov, one of Tajikistan’s most popular dishes.
The lady’s name is Omina Abdujalilova.
Omina is looking to raise a loan of $600 to buy appliances for her home, to improve living conditions for her family. So far she has raised $475, and just needs another $125. Individual loans can be as little as $25 - (currently only €16).

Edit: Three hours later - Omina has now received all the loans she needed! But there are dozens more people like her looking for similar loans here: Small businesses in developing countries
