The Vorn Family
Our Story
Sok Sareourn and her husband, Vorn Vanny, dream of moving out of the crowded slum near the river they currently occupy. “Stealing, drinking, and gambling always occur when people live too close together,” Vorn Vanny shared through a translator – which adds unnecessary problems to their lives. The couple have three children, two of whom attend school.
The youngest is still too little. “We lived in Phnom Penh before, but the children kept running away from school,” Mum, Sok Sareourn, shares. The couple have accrued over $2,000 USD of debt after trying valiantly to start a business which failed. “We want to save enough to buy land for our eldest daughter so she can start her own family.”
