Sivan, 34 years of age, is a resident of Kampong Cham province, Cambodia. She is married and has three children, all of whom are still in school. Sivan has been growing cassava as her main source of income for years. She sometimes works for others for a fee to supplement her income.
Because she lacks working capital, Sivan is leading a group of four members to apply for a loan. As the group leader, she is going to use her loan portion to cover cassava harvesting costs.
She hopes that this loan will not only help her harvest her crops on time but will also enable her neighbors to earn additional income by working on her farm. She also hopes that she will get a higher crop yield to improve her living conditions and to support her children’s studies.
