Blog: Meet the Family: JJoy-VBC Project ID044

Kloeum (72) and his wife Heth (52) live with their mentally disabled daughter Saroth (27). Kloeum works as a construction day laborer when he can, but his ability to work is limited by a medical condition (gout). Heth takes care of her daughter and manages the family’s rice farm.

Kloeum is the father of eight children, six of whom live in distant locations. The two children living nearby are also in poor condition and facing financial difficulties. He received no support when his old house collapsed in a strong wind storm on 16 April 2025. The old house measured 2m x 3m on a plot of 10m x 20m, was covered with thatch and old palm leaves, and was supported by bamboo posts.

We are excited to see this family with improved living conditions and wish them all the best!
