2019: The Pursat Sustainable Farm

​

In 2019, Rotary International contacted us interested in writing a global grant in our names. We knew the benefits of sustainable farming from our time in Takam, Cambodia. This led us to work with Rotary and villagers in Pursat, Cambodia, to understand their needs for sustainable farming.

By late 2019, we were awarded a $55,000 Global Grant by Rotary International to implement farming, sanitation, irrigation, a fish pond, community water wells, education, water filter technology, and 250 chickens, ducks, and cattle for the families of Beung Kok. 

The success of the Beung Kok sustainable farm has given the villagers food to eat, an entrepreneurial start-up selling crops at market, and the ability to store their surplus crops in case of drought.
