      The project

      KHI Sotdeuvy is married and lives with her husband and two of her children who are in school in Tram Kak province. To earn a living, she opens and sells variety of groceries from her home near taxi station which is very close to the local market. She sells bakeries, food that is packaged in cans, drinking water, beers, and more. Most of her customers are passengers which usually travel from Phnom Penh to their home town. Her husband is a farmer, and he grows avocado, taro, guava, and cassava on 2 hectares of farmland. 

      The loan request is mainly used to purchase a tractor to work on farmland, and the rest of the money is to both reinvest on grocery business and fertilizer.

      They both hope that the purchase of tractor, will allow them to save from hiring neighbor tractor to plow their farmland and they also earn an income from hiring their tractor to plow other neighbor farmland to earn an income.
