Bouy Seth

Bouy Seth is 40 years old and lives in Seim Reap Province. Seth and her husband are working hard to ensure a comfortable life for their five school-aged children. She has been involved in a business of cleaning houses of the people in her town with a typical income of US $2 per day to cover her family expenses. Her husband is a construction worker who always has to work hard every day in the town, earning US $3 per day.

To overcome the hardship of their current living situation and support their 5 children, Seth and her husband have spent their time tirelessly at work and other businesses that are able to generate a fair income. Due to the situation of her old house, she wants to take a loan of US $600 to buy wood to repair it. She thinks that her expected new house will be able to provide safety for her children who stay at home, and she will not worry so much about them when she is far away with her business.
