      The project

      Much Than, 53, is married and resides with her husband in Tboung Khmum Province, Cambodia. To earn a living, she and her husband are farmers, growing pepper since 2008 to earn as main income to support her family. The weather conditions have been difficult for farming in Cambodia this past year and the pepper prices are also decrease which make many farmers are in bad condition, Much included. The pepper demand is now going better since most of the product are not export to Vietnam and Thailand, but to China as well. Much is asking for a loan to invest on her pepper plantation. She sees these investments as a great opportunity to increase her daily income and also to improve her standard of living.
