Cambodia Family Transformation

JJoy-VBC Project ID031: Yann, Youert, Pheak, Vichika, Bunhan, Sovann, Lita, Lamyai, and Tong

Supported by JJoy’s Volunteer Team VBC-250505-TV

Construction: May 2025

In May 2025, JJoy Foundation initiated a project with our partner Volunteer Building Cambodia to provide a family with a clean water well. This project was funded by donations from JJoy’s Volunteer Team VBC-250505-TV.

Let’s meet the family!

There are 9 members of this family.  Yann (age 71) is living with her daughter Youert (36) and her son Pheak (31).  Together they care for 6 children, ages 3 through 11.  The four older kids are attending school and the younger 2 will start soon.

Yann stays at home to care for the grandchildren while Youert and Pheak work.  Youert raises livestock but only earns about $15 every 4 months.  Pheak is a baker and earns $5 per week.

This large family faces many challenges.  Having a clean water well in close proximity to their home will ease some of their burdens.  Congratulations!

6 Month Update: November 2025
