Chom Chantha, age 54, is married and has 8 children. Seven of her children are students and another one is employed in the city. She lives with her husband in Kampong Cham Province. She is a subsistence farmer who produces just enough rice for her family to eat. Also, she manufactures dried salted fish for her repeat customers at the markets. This earns her an income of US $7 per day. Her husband is sick and stays at home.

The financial crisis has been difficult for business in Cambodia this past year. This factor has played into a difficult economic year for much of the country, Chantha included. The country's economic struggles always seem to affect the poor the most. In light of the country's economic difficulties, Chantha is seeking to increase her income and improve her business. She is asking for a loan of US $400 to purchase more fish to manufacture into dried salted fish to sell because this business is the primary source of income for her family.
