We had more money repaid overnight, so I chose this lady this morning.

Reth Kan
Takeo province, Cambodia
Food | Food Production/Sales

Reth, 38 years old, is a rice wine producer at her home and her husband is a carpenter. Both of them can make $12 per day. They have two children, aged 13 and 9, both of them are in school right now. Every month, she has to spend $75 on food, $10 on electricity, $15 on school fees, $30 on transportation, and $30 for other expenses. She would like to request a loan of $600 to buy rice to produce wine to sell. Because there are a lot of expenses she needs to pay for her family’s living, she wants to raise about 10 pigs to get more income and, with the profit she earns, she will send her children to school until they finish university.
