Altantuya is 31 years old and lives with her husband and two sons in Arhangai province in central Mongolia. She and her family live in a ger, which is a traditional Mongolian nomadic housing tent. Both of her children attend a local secondary school.

With the help of her husband, Altantuya manages a meat-trading business in her town. She sells a variety of locally raised meats to her many customers. She started her business in 2003 with capital of 500,000 MNT and has built a successful operation over the years. She travels between Erdenet and Ulaanbaatar cities to sell her products.

Today, her business continues to grow quickly and she has a large base of loyal customers. Her working capital now exceeds 1,070,000 MNT. Altantuya is a hardworking businesswoman and attributes her success to her good accounting skills. For the future she says, “I hope to soon expand my business.” She is requesting a 1,600,000 MNT loan to purchase meat to sell in her business.
