Community Development
Happy Village 1
In Western countries we know that homes by the river can fetch a lot of money, well that idea is now catching on in Cambodia too, and as a result, in late 2007, 18 families in a Phnom Penh riverside slum were forced out of their little bamboo and tin homes due to the construction of big, expensive houses nearby. Due to God’s miraculous provision through the kindness of families, churches and individuals in Australia, 18 families who were pushed out of their slum homes have been relocated and are now living in a safe village at Koh Krobey (about 25 minutes from central point of Phnom Penh). This village is called Happy Village 1. As part of this village Serve Cambodia runs community development projects, providing accommodation and teaching families about basic life skills. In 2014 a medical room was built to provide added health care for the wider community. In 2015 a new concrete road was built in front of their village to help with transportation. Also, four houses for people who have large family, were built as a replacement for four original houses which were pulled down to make extra room for education centre activities and sport. Then in 2016, 3 more houses were pulled down to be rebuilt for those families which have many family members as well as having matured children. Moreover, during this period they had a women assemblage on Women day, to widespread their rights and sharing about their family problem. At the end of 2016, Happy Village 1 had a population of 126 of people.
Community Development
Happy Village 2
Kian Klieng is a slum village located behind an abattoir, above the slaughter house runoff, but below the wet season flood level. It is here that a Fellowship of Hope church was planted early in 2011, with the support of the people at Happy Village. These people were asked to leave the land due to redevelopment. A relocation project was commenced to move 8 families to Happy Village 1 and 16 families to Happy Village 2 at Prey Sar near the HOH education centre. Again due to the grace of God and the generosity of others a block of land was purchased at Prey Sar and the construction of the 22 homes at both locations was completed in 2012. Both villages have now formed community committees to address community issues and initiatives in each village. There is a need to develop skills projects to assist in supporting the ongoing community development program. At the end of 2016, Happy Village 2 has a population of 64 people. During 2016, Serve Cambodia has worked with our partners to build 8 bamboo and tin houses for other local families at a rubbish dump near HOH centre, as they are rely upon to pick up recyclable items to sell, simply earn around US$ 7.5 a day with 2 people. Furthermore, we provided them 2 toilets and 1 well to give them to access sanitation and clean water and we also give a way some food, clothes and kitchen supplies to them.
