... and the 12th loan from The Toxicologist Today goes to... Salman (Azerbeijan)

"Salman works as a master in the field of repair and construction. In addition, he has engaged in farming and cattle. As for his family, his wife is engaged in the sale of dairy products, animals, hay and grain from the yard of their house. Salman wants to build a new and a large barn for his animals, as he plans to expand the agricultural business. 

Salman is 44; he is married and the father of three children ages 8, 11 and 13 years old. He has a spine illness and once a year it requires treatment. His illness creates a problem for him when working. At the moment he has no cash for treatment and so he applied for a loan. This will be the third loan that he has received from VFAC. Previous loans were for the development of his husbandry business. He applied for 1600 AZN to undergo another course of treatment."
