Beg Chan Theoun is thirty years old and married with three young children. She lives with her husband in Takeo Province. She is engaged in a business of selling food, typically earning an income of $3 a day. Her husband also plays a major role in the family, generating income through his employment as a construction worker, earning $2 a day.

The world's financial crisis has been difficult for businesses in Cambodia this past year. This factor has played into a difficult economic year for much of the country, including Beg Chan Theoun's family. The country's economic struggles always seem to affect the poor the most. In light of the country's difficulties, she is seeking to increase her income and improve her business. She is asking for a loan of $800 to buy more fish and chickens, a purchase that she sees as a great opportunity, as she can resell them at a fair and profitable price.
