The project
Orm Sovankiry, 33, is married and lives with his wife and three school aged children in Tboung Khmum province. To earn a living, he and his wife have been planting pepper to earn as main income to support their family. Currently they have 2 hectares of farmland to grow pepper. They are working very hard in order to monitor the development and good health of each vine.
This year, the weather conditions have been difficult in Cambodia, as the rain come late which make this couple spend a lot of money on gas to water the farm.
Sovankiry, pictured with his wife from the farm, is asking for a loan to purchase natural fertilizer and adding fresh soil to increase the output. He is confident that this loan will allow him to increase daily income and to better support his family.
