Ros Sareth joined up with the project in 2008. She has one child under the age of six and five children between six and 15 years old. Before her children attended school only irregularly, now they attend full time.
Ros Sareth’s total average in come in 2008 was only $32.80 per month. Now, her average income from making carpets as of 2010 is $100. Additionally, her husband works as a cart-pusher and earns $3 per day. This income, however, does not cover their living costs each month so Ros Sareth often purchases commodities on credit and borrows money from friends. She does not have any outstanding debt and has managed to save a little money by only purchasing inexpensive items.
Her husband has health problems and he often needs treatment at the public hospital or medicine from the pharmacy that costs $5 each time.
Since Ros Sareth only works from home now and no longer in the Thai market, she has the time to look after her children and do the housework. Most importantly, the children have a chance to study every day and the family has enough money for food.
