Mrs. Chanthy Doung Village Bank Group

Mrs. Chanthy Doung was selected by her fellow group members to serve as the village bank president. She is a farmer who owns a parcel of land on which she grows vegetables. Unfortunately, she is now facing a few significant obstacles: her field is infertile and there are many insects (which have damaged her vegetables). To solve these problems, she decided to ask for a loan in order to purchase fertilizer and pesticides, which she hopes will ensure that her land is more productive going forward. Her husband, Mr. Em Saran, is a hardworking man. Mrs. Chanthy Doung is 32 years old and is the mother of three children, all of whom are enrolled in the local school.

Mrs. Ol Sokh and Mrs. Kem Ie Son (both pictured) are not seeking a loan, but their husbands are requesting a portion of the loan proceeds.



About Group Loans
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a group of individuals bound by a group guarantee. Under this arrangement, each member of the group supports one another and is responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members if someone is delinquent or defaults. Learn more
