Roeun’s Story

Roeun is a hard-working, 54-year-old married rice farmer in Ssrae Prich Village, Akphivoadth Commune, Tuek Phos District, Kampong Chhnang Province. She is a mother of six children, two still under her care. 

Roeun is happy because her husband is very supportive in helping her to manage their farm. Through their efforts, they are each able to make an income of USD $10 a day.

Roeun wants to have household energy at a reduced monthly cost by purchasing a solar energy home system. Due to inadequate funds, she has requested a loan from Kiva through its partner, HKL. 

After this initial investment, she hopes to have clean energy to power her household lights, TV and radio. She is planing to expand her business more than the previous time by buying another plot of farmland. She awaits your kindness and relies on your generosity.
