About This Project:
Per FCC – “On a one hectare piece of farmland in Kampong Speu, we’ve begun a community learning center and organic farm as phase 2 of our Student Hostel program. Our aim is to provide opportunities for higher education, organic farming and hydroponic training, English, computer and early learning teaching skills to youth. We have already dug a well, and fish pond, have built lavatories and a chicken coop and nearly completed a 2 story building to serve as volunteer staff house and classrooms. Once we can complete the building, we can invite the local community to enroll in a variety of vocational skills training.”
About This Organization: Family Care Cambodia (FCC)
Per FCC – “FCC is recognized by the Cambodian government with MOUs from Ministries of Foreign Affairs, and Education, Youth, and Sports. Our activities include: translation, production and distribution of children’s books, and assisting a shelter for minor girls rescued from sexual exploitation and domestic violence. We provide English, computer and art classes; rice and cooking gas monthly, and weaving looms and sewing machines for vocational training. We built and maintain a second story with bedrooms and lavatories. At a primary school in Siem Reap, we built and furnished an IT lab, teacher’s office, 3-classroom school building and student lavatories. 300+ students benefit from our English, computer and sports training. 60 students benefit from our assisting a village school. We operate a hostel for 20 rural boarding students earning their post graduate degrees. We also help with the annual Cambodian Special Olympic Games.”
