      The project

      Mrs. Vorng Sophea, 38, is married and lives with her husband and one child in Kratie province. She and her husband have six hectares of farmland, growing cassava and rubber. They have been working as farmers for more than 10 years. Besides the farming, her husband also own a pickup truck to transport agriculture products to have an additional income to support the family. The farming for these past years have been difficult since the price of cassava remain the same and rubber has been decreased, while the weather conditions have been provided less rain in raining season. However, Mrs. Vorng has digged out the pond as water supply for her cassava. 

      Mrs. Vorng and her husband are requesting for a loan from KREDIT to purchase another two hectares of cassava farmland. She believe that she will have more income through growing more cassava.
