Here she is:

http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=55541

Mrs. Nguyen Thi Nam is 30 years old. She has two school-going children. Before joining the TYM Fund, she stayed at home to do farming while her husband worked as a factory worker in Vinh Phuc industrial zone. In 2003, realising that the demand for germinated seeds and young trees in the area was increasing, she discussed with her husband and joined the Fund to borrow money to invest in stock-breeding trees to sell to local people. As she is responsible and quick in doing business, her business is expanding and so her family's income is also increasing. Currently, apart from working in the factory, Her husband also contributes to the business by delivering the germinated seeds and young trees to the customers, thus cutting down the transportation cost. This way, their profit is higher. This time round, she wants to borrow 15 millions VND (900USD) to invest in buying a variety of seeds to germinate and breed and sell to the local people in the next growing season. Her family's average monthly income is 3.5 millions VND (about 226USD).

Hope to see you there!

Well done, Spud, and I'm glad to break out the piggy bank to join you in supporting a woman whose loan use is listed as simply, "Growing".

Keep smiling.

Spud,

I would like to join you.  I hope a bit of that loan falls out of someone's basket.
