Community Development

VTAC's community development program is focus on building a safe and secure house, constructing water wells for clean drinking water, and installing toilet facilities for improved sanitation. We are working with our volunteers and partners in building houses, water wells and toilet facilities for vulnerable families in rural Cambodia.

Building Houses

Thanks to some generous donors, we were able to meet some poor Cambodian family living around the Bak Angrut Village, Chikreng District, Tonle Sap Lake and help them build a new house. This family was living in a frame of a house using a tarp as a roof. This was during the rainy season and it was quite cold for this family. They were very grateful to have walls and a roof added to their already existing frame. We accept volunteers to either raise funds for materials or come help us build a house. More details...

Clean Water Well
Cambodia is a developing country but is still incredibly poor in many areas. This project aims to assist the Cambodian government to reduce poverty and the illnesses that are caused by unclean water. Our wells are made from digging with a concrete base at the surface and they generally go down about 10-15 meters deep. More details...

Cambodia is still struggling with having basic toilet and bathroom sanitation that would be up to a reasonable standard. This means that regular toilets, privacy when using the bathroom, soap, along with clean water for the bathroom is sometimes not present in a home or school. When finances permit, VTAC builds toilets for local schools and families. This increases sanitation, reduces health risks and increases dignity. More details...
