Phiny is a rice farmer who lives in the village in Kampong Chhnang province of Cambodia. She is 33 years old and a mother of three children from ages 6 to 12. All of them are students. She has cultivated rice since 2007 to earn income for her family’s living. Meanwhile her husband is a taxi driver. This family can make around $20 per day.
Because the weather condition is not good for farming, she now forms a group of three members to request for a group loan and she will use her portion to purchase natural fertilizer for her farm. She is confident that she will get higher crop yields and increase her family’s profits. She will use her profits to purchase another 2 hectares of farmland in order to grow more rice, renovate her house, and help her children’s studies.
