Yum is ages 43 years old and a married mother of four children, only one of them is in school. Nowadays, she is growing rice on one hectare area of farmland as the main business for twenty-three years. Yum and her husband take their spare time to work as a construction worker in Kampong Cham province to earn additional income to complement her family’s needs. Through these businesses, she is able to save about 9USD each day for the emergency needs. Since her rice crop was threatening by insect, it could not grow fruitfully as her expected.
Yum is not new to VisionFund. She has successfully repaid her first loan and is now leading a group of two members to request another loan. As a group leader, she is willing to use her loan portion to pay for labor and harvesting fee. She hopes that this loan will allow her to harvest her rice crop on time and gain a better income to save for future needs.
