Das Projekt
Please note: 1st principal repayment after 12 months instead of 6 months. However, the interest payments start after 6 months.
Abdurahmonov, a farmer from Tajikistan's Khorasan region, sought to expand his farming. In 2022, he secured a 34,000 somoni loan (about $3,000) from Oxus and used it to buy seeds and mineral fertilisers, and to get his land ready for a better yield. This investment in his farm allowed him to increase his land and boost his yields significantly. His dedication led to an improved income, positively impacting his family's life. Later, he secured another 50,000 somoni (about $4,500) loan to invest in new machinery and equipment, further scaling his operations.

What social return could your investment make?
With their presence in rural areas of Tajikistan, Oxus supports often overlooked SMEs. Not only does this enable rural communities to advance socially, but it also drives regional economic development. Besides, over 40% of their loans are dedicated to female entrepreneurs, promoting gender equality and amplifying women's roles in business.
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) like Oxus are indispensable in the local economy. They fill gaps left by traditional banking systems, ensuring that fundamental businesses and marginalised sectors get the financial support they need to grow. An investment in Oxus, therefore, resonates beyond immediate returns, planting seeds for a broader societal transformation.
