      The project

      Mrs. SAR Kunthea, 26, is married and lives with her husband and two children who are in school in Memot District, Tboung Khmum Province, Cambodia.
      For the past 5 years, she was a vegetable seller at a local market, but currently she is a grocery seller, while her husband grows pepper and sells to both local re-sellers and Vietnam borders.

      She is now requesting for a loan from KREDIT to buy one hectare of pepper plantation to grow more pepper. She also hopes that she will get a higher crop yield to improve her standard living conditions and to support her children education.
