    Mrs. Pes Phalla’s achievements stand as a testament to the power of responsible financial planning. As a successful client of LOLC Cambodia, she has demonstrated exceptional progress through the purposeful and effective use of her loans. Residing in Ou Mkak Village, Dambouk Khpos Commune, Angkor Chey District, Kampot Province, she runs a grocery business while her husband, Mr. Nen Boeun, operates a motorcycle repair shop. Mrs. Phalla shared that she was previously employed at a casino, and her husband had no stable employment. After receiving advice from her mother-in-law, a long-time client of LOLC Cambodia, she became interested in the financial services offered and decided to apply for her first loan in 2018. This initial loan enabled her to purchase essential motorcycle repair equipment, allowing her husband to establish his own business. Over time, Mrs. Phalla took out two additional loans, which she used to expand her grocery business and renovate their home, making it more comfortable and livable. As a result of using the loans wisely and with a clear purpose, Mrs. Phalla’s family has experienced substantial financial growth. She is pleased to report that the increased income has enabled them to buy a car, a motorbike, and other necessary household items, while also transforming their home into a more comfortable and well-maintained environment.
    Income from various sources, combined with proper financial support, has led to stable, strong, and secure financial management for Mrs. Chheak Sin’s family.

    Mrs. Sin is a food vendor and grocery seller. In addition to these jobs, she is also a farmer and pig raiser, residing in Pongro Ta Lei Village, Ampil Commune, Banteay Ampil District, in Oddar Meanchey Province. Mrs. Sin shared with LOLC Cambodia that her income has increased significantly from the four occupations mentioned above, thanks in part to LOLC Cambodia’s loans. She made sound decisions and had clear plans for utilizing the loans effectively, which has brought significant improvements and growth to her family’s livelihood. She added that she had been aware of LOLC Cambodia’s loan products for a long time and decided to seek consult and use the loans for three consecutive cycles. Mrs. Sin revealed that she applied for her first loan in 2022 to buy more inventory for her grocery-selling business. Later, she took a second loan in 2023 to build two Khmer cottages (ខ្យុស) to accommodate guests in her food business, and a portion of the loan was used to start a new business: buying pigs for raising and selling. The most recent loan was requested to expand the purchase of farming supplies to double crop yields, while the remaining amount was used to purchase an additional grocery-selling inventory in 2024. Ms. Sin’s story highlights how LOLC Cambodia’s loans have played a crucial role in strengthening and growing clients’ businesses, as well as enhancing their family’s income-generating capacity, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.
