Chicken Farmer
Woman Entrepreneur

Hello. My name is Somaly Yuk. I’m a 28-year-old mother with 3 children. 2 of them are currently studying at primary school. I’m a housewife, but for extra income I sometimes sell firewood and vegetables collected from fields. My husband works in various jobs, as a construction worker or a rubber or cassava field labourer. Despite this, we only ever manage to save a very small amount of our income. My long-term goal is to restart our business and develop it into a successful micro-enterprise. By doing so I hope to ensure that my children have access to education. Additionally, I hope to increase our financial and social status, improve the quality of food that I provide for my family, and build a new house.
