1st Solution: AYU Student Loan

• According to the survey conducted by AYU, the lack of practical skills and knowledge is one of the main causes of unemployment in Cambodia.

• Therefore, AYU provides Student Loan with an interest lower than other local microfinance institutions up to 30%.

• 1000 students are targeted for the first 3 years to get loan on the maximum of $2000—the average school fee in Cambodia is $350-$400 per year.

2nd Solution: AYU Recruitment Service• AYU will transfer all received resumes to our partner

companies, NGOs and governmental agencies, as shown in below picture.

Unique Point: AYU Radio

Program• AYU Radio Program is created to promote AYU services

and seek for more funding/partnership opportunities, as radio can reach up to 9.8 million people nation-wide. Reality Check &

Feedback• We’ve contacted a local microfinance institution to be our

main partner for funding AYU Student Loan. Their feedbacks are:

• Policies/Requirements for those come to borrow the loan should be made carefully.

• Radio Program should be launched only after the other two services are operated.

The Findings of Survey:

• There are 80 youth respondents involved, coming from different background in terms of education, geography and financial situation.

• 96% shows interest in AYU Student Loan. 95% expects the interest of the loan lower than 1.0%. And 99% support AYU Recruitment Service.
