The project
Read the information document of the issuer here
Houy, 45, is married, has five children and lives in the Kampong Cham province of Cambodia. He has been working as a mechanic to earn income for support the daily expenses, while his wife (seen in the picture) runs a grocery store. Both of them also work in the rice farm as their main source of income since 1996.
With this loan he can purchase more farmland and grow more rice since it is growing well. And the rest of the loan, he is going to pay for additional groceries for his wife’s business. He thinks this investment will allow him to increase his crop yields and raise his family’s living.
Local partner Kredit provides the loan, which has to be repaid in 36 months.
