How you change lives for good! VILLAGE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
Your kindness to the people of Cambodia is an inspiration and a blessing. You have touched the lives of so many, giving them joy and hope for the future. This is their thank you to you!
The people in this village, especially children’s parents, are very happy with the new latrines. The teacher shows them how to use it and teaches them to clean their hands after using the toilet. I have only the words 'thank you' for people living in Australia who help us. Lonh Nov, Village Leader
With your support we have a pump. The pump has helped my farming because we can drink the water, use it for plants and clean the pigs and cow sheds. Now my ability to earn money is better. This helps us to support the children and buy food for them. We do not have much money, but we are happy! Ngetson and wife Phoeun, Farmers
I am very jolly to see the achievement in my village, especially this latrine. Many thanks to all people in Australia and wishes for a healthy, long life and success forever. Bun Khorn
Before the construction of the new preschool, there was no school for young children to study. Now my grandchildren come to study in this school and they are very happy. Every day I can see they become clever and can sing educational songs and share what they learnt from school. I think my grandchildren and other children in this village will have a better future from this school. Thank you! Sam Yeurn
Now I have money to buy a uniform and school materials for my son. This year there is enough water in the dam, so I don’t spend the money to buy fuel for pumping the water from the river like before. I am very delighted with this. I can plant vegetable and rice in the dry season as well. Thanks to people in Australia and LWD. Sok Morn
I started my retail shop again when the road was built. I can earn more income which makes me really happy. It is easy for us to transport all the goods and groceries to and from the market. I can make profit every day. I deeply thank the donors and LWD.

When I grow up, I want to be a teacher because I want to educate other children to have knowledge. In school, I like mathematics. I am happy to meet all my friends here because we play in the playground together every day. The road is now built. I am very happy because it make me get to school faster and on time. Thanks LWD and people in Australia for supporting this road. Chan
My father took me to school every day last year because of bad condition of road. There is no mud since the road has been constructed. I ride the bicycle to school by myself. I am very happy with this road. I can ride and walk easily now. Poa
I have clean water to drink.
We won't have to buy water during the dry season again! Community members, Tranh Veng village
We can now access the water from the well located near our house. We have enough water to grow vegetables. Mrs Sorn Horn
My rice production doubled because we have enough water to supply the paddy field. I am happy my community got support to build this dam. The people who have land along the dam hope they will be able to plant rice two times a year. I am very happy with this and I would like to express my highest gratitude to LWD and people in Australia. Ms Ly Koemleang
I am a representative of the people in this commune and I would like to say thanks to LWD and the donors that supported this project to my community. It seems you provide new hope for us. I wish you healthy, prosperity and successful in all of work. Mey Sorn
