1. Background of the Problem
The five provinces surrounding the Tonle Sap Lake rely heavily on agriculture for survival. However, farmers face serious challenges:
Unpredictable water levels due to climate change
Outdated farming methods
Limited access to quality seeds, tools, and irrigation
Soil degradation and declining yields
Lack of modern training and market access
Many families depend on farming for daily income, yet their crops can no longer support household needs. This creates cycles of poverty, food insecurity, and migration.
The need for support is urgent to ensure farmers can adapt and continue earning a stable livelihood.
2. Impact on Children / Students / Community
Agricultural instability has a direct effect on entire communities:
Families earn less, leading to child malnutrition
Students drop out of school to work in fields
Communities face food shortages during dry seasons
Women farmers carry increased labor burdens
Youth migrate to cities or abroad for work
A stronger agricultural foundation means stronger families and better futures.
3. Project Purpose
The purpose of this project is to strengthen farming communities across the five Tonle Sap provinces by:
Introducing modern agricultural techniques
Providing essential farming tools and seeds
Improving irrigation and water management
