The San Family
Our Story
San Champey and her husband Yeng Kea live in the crowded slum east of SALT School near the river – meaning they sadly do not own their land. They live with San’s mother and son who is in grade two at the Public School. Her husband used to be a teacher, but he has been out of work for a while which has had a huge ripple effect for the whole family. They originally took out a loan for a mere $60 USD from a neighbor to try to tide them over, but the interest is compounding every day.
They now owe almost $400 USD from the original $60 USD to three separate lenders. The couple can barely afford to pay the interest, never mind the full amount. They are concerned that the economic development will force them to move and accrue even more debt. None of the couple’s five children attend school; one works to support the family and the two who are old enough do not want to learn. Every Piece Matters will mean the world for this family! Mum hopes that one day all of her children will attend SALT School.
