Where We Work

Currently, we work with 9,000+ children in 75 pre and primary schools and 6 lower secondary schools based in 12 communes in the Battambang districts of Samlout and Rukhak Kiri (in the below diagram referred to as Samlot and Rokhak Kiri). These are remote areas of Battambang Province. ​All of our projects focus on education within rural/remote areas where KHEN believe most barriers to child education exist. Kaoh Kralo,  Moung Ruessei and Sampov Luon are being under the need assessments to become  a near future target districts.

KHEN Plans to Expand into the Kaoh Kralo, Moung Russei and Sampov Luon Distrcts

Why We Work Here

We work in these rural and remote districts because we believe that all children should have access to education and their other rights, no matter where they live. Education for children in these areas is limited or non existent compared to urban / city areas because they are so difficult to reach. Support from both the government and international funders is also limited or non-existent in these areas and this inequality with urban centers is reflected in the UN Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) for Cambodia which is almost 25%.

The Future

KHEN plans to expand into the Kaoh Kralo, Moung Ruessei and Sampov Luon districts (depicted in the above map) from early 2019.
