Blog: Meet the Family: JJoy-VBC Project ID012

Construction: December 2024

In December 2024, JJoy Foundation initiated a project with our partner Volunteer Building Cambodia to provide a family with a health home, a sanitary latrine, a clean water system and solar power. This project was generously funded by donations from JJoy’s volunteer team VBC-241201-CP.

Let’s meet the family!

Yat is a 58 year old woman who lives with her two adult sons.  Sambour left school after grade 7 and now works as a construction laborer earning $6.50 per day.  Lors has just graduated from high school – congratulations! 

The family has faced many challenges.  Their current home is unsafe and requires constant care, which keeps Sambour from working steadily.  They borrow electricity and water from neighbrors, which is a source of worry. And the only latrine avaiallbe to them is a 15 minute walk from their house.

Over the course of a week, this family saw their lives change before their very eyes.
