journal update
 
Entrepreneur: Sum Kim Heng
Location: Phnom Penh City, Cambodia

Mr. Sum Kim Heng has lived in Phnom Penh with his wife and two young children for about 3 years. He used to get loans through a different MFI operating in Cambodia but found CREDIT to be more convenient and offering a lower interest rate. His most recent loan has helped to raise his family income substantially by going towards building a rental house for garment factory workers. He has since experienced financial stability with his business and been able to repay his CREDIT loan monthly quite regularly. He is currently considering further loans to help expand his business opportunities as a mechanic.
