The Ma Vanna Family
Our Story
Ma Vanna, a motor taxi driver, is the sole source of income for his wife Sim Sor Phea and young son. The couple were forced to borrow almost $800 USD from four separate lenders to pay for Ma Vanna’s much needed hospital bills. Sim Sor Phea often worries about her husband’s health and if they can afford to send their boy to school when he is old enough- something which they would love to do! Currently, the family aren’t even in their own home and pay rent to live in their friend’s house. Their dream is that one day they will have their own home to raise their children in.
