The community of Saang is graduating

The Saang community is making strong progress toward caring for all its children, not just those who are sponsored. They are now transitioning to self-sufficiency. Together with other sponsors, you’ve played an important part in helping Saang get there. Thank you!

Program Details

Context

The Saang (pronounced saw-ung) community is located in a rural area near Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital city. The community is home to nearly 4,000 families. Some people live along the Basac River, where they fish and grow vegetables, while others live in the lowlands and grow rice. Temperatures are always hot, and there are dry and wet seasons.

Houses in Saang are constructed of wood, with straw, tile, or zinc roofs. Gravel roads are accessible by car, bicycle, and motorbike. Many villagers migrate seasonally to Phnom Penh to seek work in construction and thereby increase their family income. There is a strong sense of community in Saang, but communication with the outside world is a challenge because of the local lack of technology.
