A 41-year-old seller in the local market located in the Ek Phnom district of Battambang province, Deab is married and has four children. Currently she needs to care for two children, as they are still in school. To tackle the financial difficulty in the family, she sells various kinds of prepared food including dried fish, smoked fish, sausage, and fish-paste. This has been her only business for 10 years. Deab's first loan with VisionFund (a Kiva partner) was three cycles ago. She has wisely used her past loans to maintain her standard of living, and she has repaid them successfully too. Now, she is seeking a new loan of 4,000,000 KHR in order to buy dried fish, smoked fish, fish-paste, and salt fish for resale. She hopes this purchase will replenish her stock and attract more clients, so she can make more income and improve her living conditions.
Every day, Kiva connects thousands of people around the world through lending to expand opportunity and alleviate poverty.
