School Build for Pour Khoeun Village in Preah Vihear Province, Northern Cambodia

Mission Direct and Pastor Sara’s Serve Cambodia have built three villages in the country’s capital city area in and around Phnom Penh since our partnership began in 2007.

Mission Direct continues to partner with Serve Cambodia and the Fellowship of Hope (FOH) Church network in Cambodia, but our focus in 2024 is moving from Phnom Penh to a remote rural community in the northern province of Preah Vihear. We are sending volunteers to join two building teams to help our partners build a school for a village where there is currently no school and the children have not been educated.

Our partners Mr Meng Oum and his wife Sreylin, along with their young daughter Emma, have made the sacrificial move to Preah Vihear to start an outdoor school for 60 village children. These children are currently taught at Mr Meng’s house, but need shelter from the sun and rain for their classes and our project is to raise funds and to build a two-classroom school and a small teacher’s office. Soil has already been moved to the site prior to the rainy season, to provide a firm base for the building and to prevent flooding in the future. This is an exciting new project which will benefit a particularly poor community.
