Today, Mrs. Oun is a businesswoman selling clothing and shoes, located in Preaek Lieb Village, Preaek Lieb Commune, Chraoy Chongvar District, Phnom Penh City. Mrs. Oun started a business selling clothing and shoes in 2020 with financial support from LOLC Cambodia. She mentioned that, after receiving advice from relatives, she became interested and decided, along with her husband, to choose LOLC Cambodia's loan services to establish this business through initial loan of USD 2,000. Furthermore, in 2022, she applied for a second loan of USD 8,000 to expand her business further.

    Mrs. Phan Lin runs a business selling concrete round pipes, house pillars, and groceries. Her business is in Srae Prey Village, Chans Commune, Sout Nikom District, Siem Reap Province.

    According to Mrs. Lin, their products sell very well due to high customer demand, which has contributed to the success of their business. However, despite this success, they are not yet fully satisfied with this outcome. Although it marks an improvement from the beginning, customer demand continues to rise daily, surpassing their production and supply capacity. As a result, they began considering ways to expand production to meet customer needs. Due to limited capital, they were unable to achieve their expansion goals immediately. To address this challenge, they decided to take out a $7,500 loan from LOLC Cambodia in 2021 to support their business expansion. Mrs. Lin explained that she and her husband have now taken out two loans for this purpose, and for the second loan, LOLC Cambodia remained their preferred financial partner with a loan of $6,500 secured in 2024. Since securing sufficient capital for expansion, they have witnessed significant improvements in their business. They can now produce more concrete well rings and house pillars to meet customer demands on time and even stock additional inventory for new customers. More importantly, this expansion has led to a substantial increase in their income. The success of their business is evident through several key achievements, including their ability to repay loans on time. Additionally, they have improved their home, making it more spacious by renovating and adding extra rooms. Beyond enhancing their daily lives, their business has also grown significantly, allowing them to hire six additional workers. This progress not only benefits them but also creates job opportunities and income for their employees. Finally, Mrs. Lin shared that with their increased income, she now plans to save money with LOLC Cambodia to earn monthly interest and secure their financial future.

In 2018, Mrs. Naly began her grocery sales business by applying for her first loan of $5,000 from LOLC Cambodia to support the launch of this new venture. Later, in 2022, she applied for an additional $6,000 loan to start another new business, which is drinking water production. With strong financial support from LOLC Cambodia, Mrs. Naly has secured sufficient capital to sustain and enhance the operations of her three businesses, achieving remarkable progress today. It is worth mentioning that, besides using loans to create her two additional businesses, Mrs. Naly also applied for loans for other purposes, such as expanding her existing businesses, purchasing a vehicle, and buying land.
