Where We Work

Currently, we work with 12,500+ children in 122 pre and primary schools (115 built by KHEN) and 6 lower secondary schools based in 20 communes in the Battambang districts of 1) Samlout, 2) Rukhak Kiri and 3) Rattanakmondol, 4) Sampov Luon  and 5) Koas Kralor (in the below diagram . 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. 

Schools Breakdown

53 State Primary Schools (14 cluster schools)
32 Community ( or called as Annex) Primary Schools
39 Community/State Preschools (Early childhood Education)
3 Secondary Schools ( Lower Secondary Schools) ​
1 High School 

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 Phnom Proek district and, additionally for Community Training Centres and IT/computers  studying for rural schools students.
