Kouk Srok village is one of the poorest communities in Siem Reap with higher than average illiteracy rates and high unemployment, which is the reason why Kamboo Project is present to improve the living conditions of these rural households. Improving education is our priority. Quality education is necessary to empower the young generation of Cambodia to take community development in their own hands. Kamboo Project bought school uniforms and school kits for 15 students aged 5-23 years in nine families. The children’s social stories were carefully sounded out by us beforehand. Beneficiaries include girls, boys, disabled, children raised by (at times immobile) grandparents.
