Meet Vahan Safaryan, a Fish Farmer from Sarukhan, Armenia. With microfinancing and business training from the Near East Foundation, Business Paretta and the Gegharkunik Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Gavar, he was able to get a loan, learn to expand his business, and implement his ideas. Once his business was off the ground, they helped him find markets for his products, get business-related imports and provided Vahan with business coaching from his peers in the business community and from NEF partners.
