The loan was used to increase her working capital and purchase more stock, including clothing, cosmetics, and grocery items. After seeing positive business growth and improved operations, she continued to use additional loan cycles to further develop her business up to the present day.
Through the effective use of the loan, Mrs. Phai Leak has developed even greater trust in LOLC Cambodia, as the financial assistance provided through its loans has helped her business grow, better satisfy customer needs, increase her income, and improve her family’s living standards.
