The Penh Family
Our Story
Penh Theary is the single mother of three children. She works hard, catching fish and finding labour where she can but her work is seasonal and not sustainable. She owns land but fears it will eventually fall into the river.
Penh Theary fell into a large debt of $1,125 USD after her child became sick, and through borrowing to start a business. Despite this, she manages to send two of her children to school; the third having to stay home and work. She would love to send all her children to school and dreams of owning a house for her family. “I just want them to have a good future,” she shares through a translator.
