The project
Saram is a 57-year-old married woman with 5 children. All of them are still in school. She lives in a rural community, of the Tbong Khmum province. Since 7 years, Saram is the owner of a farm, together with her husband, where she grows peppers, bananas, cashews, rubbers, and cassavas that she can sell in her community and at the market to earn a living.
Saram needs a loan to purchase one more hectare of farmland to grow more crop and pay for additional seedlings, a spray can, and fertilizer to assist her with her farming activities.
She plans to use her profits to support her family and pay school fees for her children.
Local partner Kredit provides the loan, which has to be repaid in 24 months.
