      The project

      Sorm Samon, 51, is a resident in the Tboung Khmum Province of Cambodia. She is married and has two children. To earn a living, she has been selling Khmer cake and also aided her husband farm to earn income, while her husband, Sem Tech, is a farmer and has been cultivating rice, pepper, and durian.

      Since the price of pepper are increased, she is now asking for a loan to grow more pepper and to dig a well as water supply. She sees this investment will allow her to increase her family income and raise her family standard of living.
