Mrs. Rith Sambath is the president of a village bank that consists of fourteen people who live in Bompong Phchoek Village in Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia. Mrs. Rith Sambath makes baskets in the local village. Her husband, Mr. Suk Sao, is a fisherman who gathers a little fish to support his family.


Mrs. Rith Sambath is 41 years old and the mother of three children, one of whom is a fisherman. The others are enrolled in the local school. Although Mrs. Rith Sambath's family members have different businesses, they still live in an old house with a leaking roof. In order to repair this roof, Mrs. Rith Sambath has decided to ask for a loan to buy zinc strips to replace the old roof.



All of the members in this village bank have end-of-term (EoT) loans, so they are not required to pay any principal on the loan until the very end of the loan term. End-of-term (EoT) loans are AMK’s main product because they are the most beneficial to Cambodia’s poor. These allows them to repay portions of the principal whenever they are financially able to. Most clients start to make payments many months before the end of the loan term. Almost all of AMK’s clients make their payments on time. AMK has a delinquency rate of only 0.09% and AMK has a default rate of 0% on Kiva.



About Group Loans
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a group of individuals bound by a group guarantee. Under this arrangement, each member of the group supports one another and is responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members if someone is delinquent or defaults. Learn more
