🌟 In Samarkand, a Waste Collector Became a Millionaire In Samarkand, Gulmira Jumayeva — a woman who used to work among waste wearing gloves — has achieved remarkable success through her hard work and perseverance. At first, nobody knew her, and some people even turned away. She started her business with just a few bags and an old cart, and in 2025, she was recognized as “Woman of the Year” in Uzbekistan. Gulmira shares her story: "My boss and I would collect waste from restaurants and cafes. We got paid for it, and we also sorted it to send to factories. When things got tough, in 2008 I went to Russia. There I worked at a waste processing company and admired my female boss. After returning, I started accepting waste in Uzbekistan." At first, people doubted her: "Anu, Gulmira is crazy to buy waste for money!" Her mother warned her: "Don’t do this…" But Gulmira remained determined: "Mom, the time will come; we will build a big factory." Today, what began with 20 carts is now managed with 93 pieces of equipment, showcasing her hard work and determination. This story shows that hard work, persistence, and dreams can overcome any challenge. #Inspiration#WomenPower#Samarkand#WomanOfTheYear#FromWasteToWealth#HardWorkAndPersistence☘️Read the latest environmental news on the @ekologuz page.
