Mrs. Pheuk Makara currenlty run a laundry service in Ou Chrov Village, Ou Chrov Commune, Paoy Paet City, Banteay Meanchey Province. Her business has been steadily improving her life as her earnings increase every month.
She shared that before becoming the owner of her laundry shop with regular customers like these days, she used to work at a casino in Poipet and received a little salary, but after owning a shop, she was able to earn more money from her laundry business daily, especially her monthly income has increased four to five times than the salary earned from working as a casino employee. She added that she did not have enough capital to run this business completely, but the LOLC Cambodia’s loan enabled her to make this business stand out and move forward to current growth.
She stated that she utilized the loans from LOLC Cambodia for up to three cycles: the first was used to run a laundry business, the second to improve the shop, and finally she used it to buy a truck for transporting goods. Therefore, her decision to start this business was the right choice for her family's livelihood.
