      The project

      Mr. SRENG Sophal is a hard-working farmer and father of two children. he been working as a farmer since 2009, growing rice, rubber, and pepper to support his family. The weather conditions have been difficult in Cambodia, and the price of rubber has been decreased for these past year which make some farmers in bad condition.

      Sophal, pictured from his rubber and pepper plantation, was employed as a excavator driver, and now he see a good opportunity to own the excavator to have an additional income to support his family. 

      He is asking for a loan to purchase an excavator so that he can dig the pond and water irrigation system for a profit.
