Programs

With 14 million inhabitants and nearly a third of its total population living below the poverty line of $1.25 per day, Cambodia faces many challenges. The imbalance between a rapidly growing young population and job scarcity, especially in rural areas, is attributed to a lack in economic investment activities, early childhood drop out rates from schools, lack of skills and extreme poverty. Traditional perceptions discourage daughters from pursuing an education that would otherwise help sustain their futures.

To help overcome these issues Sovann Phoum promotes Education and Vocational Training to the disadvantaged, as well as Micro-Credit Services to support small businesses.
