The project
Uo Sophorn is a hard-working farmer and mother of two children. She has been growing pepper, cassava, and rubber since 2009, while her husband is a motorcycle repair man.
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.
However, the price of cassava and pepper remains good and she is now would like to request a loan from KREDIT to purchase one hectare of farmland to grow more cassava and to purchase motorcycle spare part for her husband's business.
The loan must be repaid in 24 months.
