Please help the forgotten people of Bech Khlok to a better future

In Bech Khlok, one of the many isolated villages in Western Cambodia, the community has no access to clean water, no power, no sanitation and minimal medical care. The only school has just two classrooms for the 140 pupils and is in a desperate condition.The teaching materials consists only of two broken blackboards, some chalk and most of the kids have neither pencil nor paper.

As result of the contaminated water source, the families here rarely live without illness. Their children don't know a day without stomach ache, diarrhea and are never free from parasites (worldwide 10'000 people die daily from waterborne diseases. Half of them are children below 5 years of age).

With the lack of education and work opportunities, many of the older children are exposed to trafficking and exploitation, being forced to work illegally in Thailand.

With the raised funds, we will address facility issues such as fresh water supply, solid floors, proper walls and sanitation.

In a second phase, and depending on available funds, we will work with the community to improve hygiene and sanitation and introduce water filters and rainwater tanks in conjunction with training and education.

Long-term, we will encourage and facilitate good education, and than connect the students with vocational training and work opportunities.
