journal update Entrepreneur: Som Sameit Location: Siem Reap Province, Cambodia Som Sameit has raised all five of her children in Siem Reap province, Cambodia. She first heard about CREDIT through her neighbor who told her about the low interest rates she could apply for. She had taken our any other kind of loan before working with CREDIT and was excited to finally be able to afford a motorbike for her husband’s daily commute to work. This saves their family valuable time and money. Hopefully they will soon be able to afford the construction tools her husband also hopes to buy. They have had no problems paying back their loan and report financial stability for the time being.
