      The project

      Mrs. PHENG Saroum is married and lives with her husband and two young children in Siem Reap province. She has a laundry business from her home to earn a living. The business has started since 2010, and it makes a good income. Because of her house is around the guesthouses and hotel area that is why she has many customers to support. Her husband is a carpenter. He works for a local private carpentry shop where there is about 10 kilometer from home. 


      Mrs. PHENG is now asking for a loan to build 10 rooms to rent out. Her house is located in the center of Siem Reap city where there are many foreigners and visitors come to visit Angkor Wat. All the guesthouse and hotel at Siem Reap are very busy, and she believes that the new investment will bring more income for her family in the next six months when the rooms are finish.
