Pak Mong

Mong Pak is living in the house were she was born, in Kandal province, not far from Phnom Penh, with her 6 children. Her husband is a moto taxi, while she is selling food to the factory workers in her neighborhood. She gets up early in the morning to cook and begins selling around ten for the first break in the factories. In the afternoon, her husband brings her to the market. Four of her children are helping her in this business and the two remaining are employed in the factories. The five of them make around $5 profit out of $25 daily sale.

For her first loan with CREDIT, she is requesting a $500 loan to buy a new motorbike for her husband. She will sell the old one, which is breaking down often and costs much in reparations.

Mong Pak is a cautious person; her first concern would be to save a little money for the rainy days. She is also thinking about expanding her business with her next CREDIT loans.
