Učinek
75 % Kambodžanov si ne more privoščiti nakupa hiše. V Kambodži je doseganje lastništva stanovanja eden od ključev do ekonomske stabilnosti za družine z nizkimi in srednjimi dohodki. First Finance zagotavlja dolgoročna posojila za izboljšanje stanovanj, ki družinam z omejenimi možnostmi omogočajo nakup, gradnjo ali izboljšanje stanovanj, na katera so lahko ponosne. Poleg tega First Finance pri pomoči naredi še korak naprej, saj ljudi izobražuje o varnem nakupu in prodaji nepremičnin ter si prizadeva za zaščito Kambodžanov pred negativnimi tveganji, povezanimi z nakupom nepremičnine. Dostop do varnih in cenovno dostopnih stanovanj izboljšuje življenjski standard, zdravje in razvoj otrok ter duševno in telesno zdravje. Vodi tudi k ustvarjanju delovnih mest, povečanju dohodka in okoljski trajnosti.
