Mr. Van Savry and his wife, Mrs. Roun Tharint, currently operates these businesses in Ang Tboung Village, Tapoung Commune, Thma Koul District, Battambang Province.
As the owners of both a food business and a motorcycle cleaning service, Mr. Van Savry and his wife, Mrs. Roun Tharint, have never once complained of being tired.

With a new vision, they started selling food and offering motorcycle cleaning services right in front of their home. Their resourcefulness led them to seek ways to make these new businesses run more effectively. As a result, they decided to apply for their first loan from LOLC Cambodia in 2023, amounting to USD 6,000, with the goal of expanding the food stall and motorcycle cleaning service, as well as purchasing additional equipment to improve both businesses.
After successfully expanding their new ventures, Mr. Savry and his wife continued to apply for loans from LOLC Cambodia to further grow their business and combine with their savings to purchase land for future use.
By using the loans from LOLC Cambodia effectively and for the right purposes, Mr. Savry’s family has enjoyed an improved livelihood, with greater and more stable income, leading to a happier family life.
