House Building Projects
We have been so blessed to be supported in our endeavour to build homes when these projects have cropped up. We use a mix of direct donations, raffles and fundraisers to allocate funding to these projects as they arise. Everyone deserves a safe home to live in.
Grandma Heng
When we first met Grandma Heng in 2022, we were heartbroken by the conditions she and her daughter were living in. Her greatest worry was what would happen to her daughter once she was no longer around to care for her. As you can see in the photo below, their shelter was unsafe and unfit for living—each wet season brought devastating floods that destroyed their few belongings. With no legal rights to the land, they were essentially squatting on a small piece owned by a niece.
Thanks to the incredible support of local charities, we were able to help secure a donated portion of that land—now legally owned by Grandma Heng—and build a safe, permanent home for her and her daughter.

Grandma Yay's New Home
Grandma Yay is one of our long term sponsored Granny's. She was displaced to the Run Tae Ek Village last year and we have given her a home she deserves thanks to our generous sponsors! Look how beautiful she had made her garden in the last couple of years. Bless.

Thy & Lorm
Thy & Lorm were transient moving around from community to community before settling in the Kvav Commune, during COVID. Keen to keep them settled in the community, a local landowner donated a small piece of land for the family, and CRR donated the house.
​
Unfortunately, Thy went away to work for the family and in December 2024, passed away in an accident. This has left Lorm a single Mum of two young children. We are so thankful that Lorm has a safe home for herself and the children, and she remains on a family sponsorship in our program. Lorm is lovely and volunteers regularly at our Lunches with Love Program. We hope to assist Lorm to get paid employment in the future when she is ready to do so.
​
Our hearts remain with Lorm as she navigates the immediate future after the loss of her husband.

Chann & Lech
When we heard about young couple Chann & Lech and their two small children we knew we had to help them. With the assistance of all our generous sponsors we built them this little red home! Proceeds from our Thermomix Raffle helped also.
