This is 35-year-old Vijay Bhole. He has three children, aged 15, 12 and 9 years. He has one additional dependent, who lives with him to assist with domestic chores.

In 2000, Vijay Bhole set up his paan shop.He had an early marriage and was advised by his father to start a small business that required little investment. He now owns a small, makeshift paan and tea shop. 

He diligently works seven days a week for 12+ hours a day and earns Rs. 5,000-6,000 per month. The way he can make ends meet and educate his children is if he purchases more products to stock in his shop. Thinking along these lines, he took a loan from a local moneylender.

Today, along with his living expenses, he needs to pay a 60% interest on the loan he took from the money lender. The small loan amount has snowballed and he needs to pay off his debts as well as become self sufficient. Help Bhole put investment into his stall so he can extricate himself from moneylenders and lead a better life.
