The Heng  Family

Our Story

Oum Srey Rith and her husband Heng Barang have recently moved into their new bamboo home in the iBlock in Ta Skor village – so exciting! Until the bank reclaimed their house, the family were living in the middle of a creek with no access to clean water. The couple borrowed $2,000 USD to start their life in their previous home. Since then, they have only payed back around one quarter of this amount and have a current debt of $1,500 USD.

Their future is looking very bright now that they have a safe home where they don’t worry about the uncertainty of moving again and can solely focus on their debt repayment. The couple hopes that they will be able to afford to send their two young children to school, and for their eldest daughter’s health to improve. They worry about her having to go to hospital again. In the future, they dream of having a small ingredients shop and being debt free!
