The Mai Family
Our Story
Vat Pov and her husband, Mai Phuon, used to live in a tiny house along a muddy road east of SALT School, but have recently moved to their new home on the iBlock – how exciting! While they owe a large $1,640 USD in debt, they have managed to keep up on payments and save $0.50 USD a month. This may not sound like a lot, but between paying off debt and caring for their four children (one of whom is disabled) it is a mammoth milestone and a testament to positive change!
If they were able to have a stable home, they would like to put their savings towards sending their children on to finish secondary school; a rare achievement in their community.
