[Your custom message appears here.]             Phorn Hun, Cambodia A Sturdy Roof Overhead Phorn Hun never had property of her own. She lived in a thatched-roof house along the fence of a pagoda. No one, not even private moneylenders, dared to give her a loan. In 1998, however, Mrs. Hun approached ACLEDA Bank and explained her unfortunate situation. She told them about her idea to start a noodle business and they offered her a loan of US$ 25. Only a few years later, Mrs. Hun’s profit’s enabled her to buy a small piece of land to build a wooden house with a metal sheet roof, a luxury she could never afford before. She is still an active borrower of ACLEDA Bank; she has since had ten subsequent loans. ACLEDA Bank gave Mrs. Hun a chance at a new and successful enterprise—and she capitalized.
