Sosor_zundui
A warm community leader

Sosor is a grandmother that takes care of her two grandsons while they attend the local high school. She is retired and spends the bulk of her time leading the local elder’s Union in her community. She first found out about energy efficient products at a local microfinance event where she decided to purchase an insulated yurt blanket and energy efficient stove. Since her fuel costs have gone down, her new monthly costs, including loan payment are less than what she spent before. In her opinion, one of the easiest ways to decrease air pollution is through the spread of eco products.
