Hello friends and family,

In October, 2024 I will be part of a Developing World Connections Volunteer Team that will travel to CAMBODIA to build floating homes for local families.

Approximately 90 percent of Cambodia’s impoverished population lives in rural areas. Just outside the city of Siem Reap, fishing families in the floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake, barely make enough money to survive. As the water levels change throughout the year, families are forced to relocate. Homes are flimsy. These thatched-roof vessels often lack clean water and have an unreliable electricity supply.

Please consider donating to this project. Your gift will have a tremendous impact on a family’s well -being and their ability to break the cycle of poverty.

Thank-you for your support.

This project builds a future for those who have little by improving the living standards of disadvantaged families in the fishermen community of Kompong Khleang. The team in Cambodia will be made up of likeminded volunteers who are also passionate about travel and giving others a hand up. This crew will work alongside locals and our host partner. This projects falls under DWC’s Raise the Roof program. A DWC team will construct a structurally sound and weatherproofed floating home to improve the conditions in which families live. These measures will improve safety and health so that struggling parents and their children can better focus their energies on income-earning activities and education opportunities.
