Khem Samoun

Khem Samuon's son tried to start the motorbike workshop but he had to close because they did not have enouh custommers. He is now working as a construction worker to help his family.

Khem Samuon is working long hours at the factory while her husband is very busy as a moto-taxi driver.

They are sure that they can repay their Kiva loan even if the business failed.

Khem Samuon's son was able to obtain a spot in a school where he is able to learn more about motorbike repair which will greatly help him be better prepared to succeed in that business. They believe that in the future the business will be successful in a different location. Therefore, Khem Samuon used the loan to expand her own business, to purchase a motorbike for her children to go to school and work, and to purchase a cow. In addition to working in a garment factory, Khem Samoun sells clothing to other garment workers outside of the factory. She used $100 to purchase additional clothing to expand her business of selling clothing in front of the garment factory. She used $600 to purchase the motorbike, which allows her son to go to school to learn how to repair motorbikes, and helps transport her other children to work. She purchased the cow for $300. She said that the loan has greatly helped her family, as she has been able to get increased income from expanding her business and purchasing a cow, and she is very excited about her son being able to study more about repairing motorbikes. Khem Samuon's dream for the future is that she will be able to help her son open his motorbike repair shop. She is very confident that he will be able to be successful in this business.
