Yin Lok

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Yin Lok by CREDIT, a partner of World Relief in Cambodia. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 18 months, CREDIT, a partner of World Relief will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

Yin Lok, 38, lives with her husband and five children in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. Yin sells Cambodian cakes, and her husband is a construction foreman. At the time they applied for a loan, they made $3 and $2 a day, respectively. Yin asked for a loan to purchase a stand where her daughters could sell her desserts.

A CREDIT MFI loan officer recently visited Yin to check on her progress. After receiving her loan, Yin purchased a stand where her children help her sell her cakes. As a result, her family's income has increased, and she uses the extra money to reinvest in her business.

In the future, Yin said she wants to sell rice and meals in front of her house because a Korean company plans to open a shoe factory nearby, and she expects many potential customers to pass by once it has opened.

When asked, Yin said she was thankful to CREDIT for its good service, and to Kiva lenders for supporting her loan.
