When we came to visit our customer Esenbubu Omurzakova, we met Cholpon, her daughter, cutting fabric to make women's clothing. When asked about her mother, Cholpon said that she had gone to Bishkek to sell her produce at the Dordoi market.

It all started with Esenbubu selling apples at the market in order to buy strawberries and then sell them for a higher price in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, her daughter worked in a sewing workshop in Bishkek and dreamt of opening her own workshop whenever she visited Balykchi, her hometown. Finally Cholpon decided to start her own business. She began with making garments for women in an extension of her house where she and her mother cut out and sew clothes and other produce.

In 2005 Mol Bulak Finance started its operations. Esenbubu found its services appealing and took out a loan. She invested the money into the purchase of Mercedes Benz van.A year later the family was able to open a small sewing workshop in the same extension to their house after buying ten sewing machines. They gradually increased their turnover and with an obvious need for enlargement, Esenbubu decided to use Mol Bulak Finance's services again. In 2007, thanks to an advantageous investment, Esenbubu moved her small workshop into a building belonging to the City Employment Bureau. She agreed with the Bureau that in exchange for providing 40 work places to Balykchi residents she could use the space rent-free. Today Esenbubu has a sewing workshop that employs forty people. They produce between 250 and 300 items of clothing daily. Her produce is sold not only in Kyrgyzstan but is even sold in some large Russian cities. Esenbubu doesn't want to stop there and her next step is to launch a sewing full-scale factory in the near future!
