Chen Park is a 45 year-old widow who has a business selling brooms at the local market of Takeo province. She has three children who stay at home making brooms for her to sell. The brooms are made from a kind of long grass that grows in the forest. She earns approximately $4 each day.



Chen learned how to make brooms from her neighbors and started her business in 2004. She told to a loan officer that every month she needs to spend around $45 on food and $5 on utilities. She is asking for a loan from Kiva's local partner Credit to purchase the long grass in bulk. This will save money and allow her to increase the number of brooms she can make and sell.
