Kompheim Village: A Day in the Khmer Life

Informazioni generali

Destinazione
Siem Reap, Cambogia

Il programma nel dettaglio

Located around 16 km from Siem Reap, Kompheim Village is a small village made up of farmers and itinerant workers.



The village is a mixture of type one, two, and three households. Type one families typically struggle to meet daily needs and often struggle for food. Our Day in the Life program aims to work mostly with these households.



On every tour, a host family looks after the group, by welcoming you into their home and lives for the day. These families receive a small payment for being the host family and a larger contribution is made to a village fund. The village fund is used for special village projects like water filters and water wells.



We work with the families to determine the projects that need to be undertaken.



Important information

It is extremely important that you do not hand out gifts or money to these families or children, no matter how dire the situation seems.

Providing gifts can cause problems within the village and jealousy among families and relatives.

You will notice that many children suffer from poor dental hygiene. Please do not buy or hand out anything; this only contributes to the problem.
