      The project

      Phat Phoeun is married and lives with two children in the Tboung Khmum Province of Cambodia. She is a farmer, and she has been growing pepper to earn additional income for ten years. Her family is also supported by her husband, Kang Sokha, 51, who is a construction foreman.

      Because the weather condition these past years has been difficult that is why Mrs. Phoeun is asking for a loan of 10,000 USD to dig the well and pond as water supply for the pepper plantation. The rest of the loan is used to grow more pepper. She is confident that this loan will be allow to boost her crop yields and increase her income.

      The loan must be repaid in 24 months.
