Due to financial difficulties, Makhpuret was forced to leave her four children in the care of her brother and go to Russia to work, where she learned the skills of baking confectionery. After returning home, she dreamed of starting her own business, and when she learned about the project to support migrant families, she decided to participate. The project helped her develop financial literacy and business planning skills, enabling her to open a small workshop for producing confectionery products. Thanks to the project, she successfully launched her business, which is now thriving. Makhpuret notes that participating in the project helped boost her self-confidence and increase her family’s income by 30%. Now, Makhpuret not only supports her family but also stays close to her children. In the future, she plans to open a coffee shop where parents can relax in a pleasant atmosphere with their children.

Makhpuret was a participant of the project “Empowering Migrant Families in the Border communities of Batken region”, implemented by the Public Association “Dialogue, Trust, Right” in 2023-2024, within the BOMCA 10 grant.
