In the world of Fabrics, weaving is key! Kiva loan

If it wasn't for the weavers of the world, either man, woman or machine, we would not enjoy the beautiful selection of fabrics from around the world. This month, we decided to loan to a KIVA applicant who dedicated themselves to a craft we could relate to. Here is the information. Be sure to check out KIVA and loan someone some money around the world.
Mrs. Long Nhek, 61, is a widow with three children, two sons and one daughter. One of her sons is married and lives outside the family home. Her other son one runs a motor taxi, and her daughter weaves silk at home. The family lives on an Island on the Mekong River about 15 km from Phnom Penh.
Mrs. Long has been a weaver for 45 years. It’s a skill she learned from her mother. She sells her finished products to the middle man in the village, who will take it to sell in Phnom Penh. She has two looms in the family; one is for her daughter and other is her own. Though she is in her early 60s, she is still strong enough to work.
She is requesting a loan of $1,000 to purchase silk materials for weaving and buy a motorbike to replace the old one for her son's motor taxi.
