In Svay Ampear Village, Cambodia, 75-year-old Chen Lun and her husband care for their grandchildren while their daughter and son-in-law work long hours in Phnom Penh. 📍 With sparse income and limited labor, the family’s future once seemed uncertain—until a regional initiative stepped in.
The East Asia Poverty Reduction Cooperation Pilot Project, launched in Cambodia, selected Svay Ampear as a test site for housing renovations. Chen’s family joined early, swapping their fragile home for a sturdier structure. 🛠️ \"We prayed for change,\" Chen shared. \"Now, our grandchildren sleep safer.\"
The project focuses on sustainable solutions, blending local needs with cross-border expertise. 🇰🇭🤝 While challenges remain—like access to steady income—Chen’s story sparks hope. Could this pilot become a blueprint for tackling poverty in rural Asia?
As Cambodia balances tradition and progress, families like Chen’s remind us that small steps can lead to big transformations. 💪🌱
