‘PREK TOAL HOME AND LIFE’ PROJECT 2017
BACKGROUND
I am Hoksan AN from Prek Toal village in Cambodia, project manager of
the “Greening Prek Toal Project 2017”. This project was successfully
completed 26 March 2017, thanks to many local and international donors, who
supported us to run this project, along with 160 volunteers. There
was a lot of damage to our precious flooded forests by fires in the dry season
of April 2016. Many houses were severely burnt and the environment was badly
damaged Our donors’ and supporters’ funding
and hard work resulted in 3 hectares of fire-damaged land being replanted.
Our villagers now find it very difficult to do their fishing around the
lake and also in the rivers, because there are no fish nests and not much water
on the lake since that time.
A EXCITING NEW PROJECT FOR PREK
TOAL
Our second project is the Prek Toal Home and Life Project, designed
to improve villagers’ housing and living quality and repair the damage to
families’ homes in the Prek Toal floating village.
The Project is focused on building floating houses for 25 poor
families in my community, enhancing living conditions and improving the health
of villagers’ environments. This will be done through working with donors,
community developers and Prek Toal Tours
and Travel’s guests who wish to make a difference to our community.
Our long-term goal is to create a sustainable
economic and natural environment for the current and future community.
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS
Each house will cost approximately US$3,793.50.
