Mrs Phượng is 58 years old, and she is married with two children.
She has worked in agriculture, growing vegetable crops for eight years. Phượng lives in Bim Son, a semi-urban town in the province of Thanh Hoa. Her family is a low-income household in the village; moreover, this job is unstable.
One of the most critical difficulties that concerns her is not having clean water to use. But her income is not enough to get a new one. She is requesting a loan to purchase sand, cement, bricks, and equipment to install a clean water system.
In 2017, Phượng joined Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution to improve her business. Phượng has successfully repaid two loans from Thanh Hoa.
With her business profits, Phượng hopes for her business to do well, to build a new house, and for her children to find a good job.
