Club Akhtaron was founded in 2013. Sitora Abdurakhmonova is the leader of this club. Leader tells the beginning of the club: "For the first time, in 2013, I thought it would be a difficult thing – how will I gather women? I would go home and explain to them what is work? In fact, I had to walk 2 or 3 times to every woman and clarify the purpose of our work. Then they realized what it is, and began to come to the club. We really helped three-day seminar about leadership, we knew how to work, and what is the role of the leader. We also helped conversations with representatives of the Women's Club of Sughd province, who came on a productive forum associated with last year's project. We have not had such an experience, they showed us a lot. Last year I drove myself too in Sughd and I saw a lot of important speeches how to keep records, whatever they are going the way they are organized. We do all of the documentation as we saw there, in Sughd ".

Sitora expressed herself, too which is very important for them is the seminar "Organization of the work of the Club" which was held in late 2013. Women know what they are entitled to, for example, how institutions apply in case of divorce. For Sitora it was important due to the divorce of her daughter, the case related to the division of property, alimony payments. They now know how to deal with conflict situations, what to do when calling someone on the Jamoat. Women's Rights - as a leader, you have to know them - says Sitora.

This year, members learned how to sew, thanks to special rates. Alamvi Mirzoeva and Bargigul Abradova participated in the ten-day course in Kurgan Tube. They learned how to sew a dress, sheathe decorations tablecloths, sew skirts, shirts; they have learned the art of computer embroidery, and so on. What they learned, they gave as part of the five-day courses, seven other members of the club - first of all, how to sew traditional female attire. After last year's visit to Sughd, they were very impressed with the device to the computer embroidery and decided that they would like to buy it. They checked that they can use it for 8 months, since in addition they did not have a sufficient supply of energy. So far, due to the funding of the project, they bought a conventional sewing machine.

Demand for sewing profession in district. In the end, it is necessary to collect a dowry. That they sew on request (with dress pants) from the same traditional outfits. On the other flaps are sewn karam - kind of traditional cloths, which is also part of the dowry.

The Club has its own fund, which can provide, among other things, a loan at low interest rates for its members. To date, he has 890 Somoni; Women pay the membership fee in the amount of 1 somoni per month. According to members who have been sewing courses - they do not work, now it is not engaged in any farming or household, only sew. Family is happy as they make their money. Product of one of the women from the neighboring village touts sister and come from the same place orders.

I specifically asked my husband about the agreement to be in the club, and that I myself could buy their own personal belongings.

Her husband is very happy, because before all she did not say anything, now she began to refer to it adds with a laugh the other members of the Club.

What's wrong with this cow?

Last year, the club bought a cow, whose name is Lola. Unfortunately, after 2 years, the cow still had not pregnant. Therefore, the club has decided that the Club will drive it to the market and sell for 2000 TJS. For the money the club bought a calf and heifer similar to Lola. Calf led to the assistant leader (unfortunately it was ill, so after consultation with a veterinarian, women have decided that it is necessary to kill a calf - this they got 6 pounds of meat, including 1 kg given to poor families). But it took the name Rose and lives the leader of the Club. Rose grows and feels good, though, you can vote yourself!
