Покупка коровы, которая затем заболела и отсутствие покупателей для товаров постепенно влияет на дальнейшие работы. В июле был настоящий кризис.

"Это была ужасная апатия. Курбонгуль Мирзорахимова и Умеда говорили о первом годе работы. Тогда была жутко холодная зима, и весь посев был заморожен. Тогда среди членов Клуба, они собирали деньги и снова посадили растения.

Женщины, несколько раз встречались, чтобы разработать план действий. Они разговаривали с другими жителями деревни и обнаружили, что есть высокий спрос на простыни. За последние 200 сомони (более $ 30) из фонда женщины купили хлопок высокого качества и начали их продавать. Сначала в их семьях, затем - они стали ходить на хлопковые поля, где в то время, работали большинство женщин, из сельской местности.

Кроме того, один из жителей села предложил помочь продать продукт на рынке в Курган-Тюбе. Он сам работает в этом магазине и помогает женскому клубу ОРЗУ. Таким образом, клуб начал расти, и даже моральный дух женщин поднялась.
