New energy efficient refrigerator for a grocery store in the city of Shymkent

Dilbar Abdukarimova is a client of the Microfinance organization (MFO) “KMF”. She lives in the city of Shymkent and owns a grocery store as well as a hardware store, selling food, household goods, etc. She is getting loans from the MFO “KMF” for repair works and the product-line expansion on a regular basis. The MFO “KMF” loan expert proposed to take an advantage of the Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) programme from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Dilbar was pleased to make use of the MFO “KMF” micro loan, and to purchase equipment from the Green Technology Selector. She has bought an energy efficient refrigerator Dauscher A +++ class for her grocery store.

Dilbar is heartily satisfied with this decision, as she can already use the refrigerator in her grocery store, and earn money. Since there is no need to pay the whole price for the refrigerator at once, it is possible to divide the total amount by up to 84 months and pay in a convenient mode. The client also saved money, as she received an incentive in the amount of 10% of the cost of the refrigerator.

This project was supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance.
