EdU Exclusive｜Plant for Water – Community Development in Cambodia｜July

Project Background:

Cambodia has been a country of global interest due to the facts that remain from the past tragedy with its smaller population in the previous centuries; factors of social, cultural, and environmental issues have been the ongoing subject matters to be concerned.

Nowadays, Cambodia faces a myriad of challenges, including environmental degradation, water scarcity, unsustainable farming practices, and rural poverty. Many communities, particularly in rural areas, are grappling with limited access to education, skill-building resources, and opportunities for economic development.

Project Objectives:

• Improve the local drinking water quality by teaching the community about the goods of moringa seeds.
• Empower youth to contribute to sustainable solutions and community development through introducing sustainable farming species to make use of the land to the largest extent.
• Provide students with a “live like a local” experience through an immersive living and service experience in a rural Cambodian environment distinct from Hong Kong.
