Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

A former soldier, 50-year old Che He and his wife Sin Seng Hong, 49, have received a house and land in Boeung Pram, a village in Batambang province, as part of a Cambodian government social land concession to demobilized soldiers and other landless families. Here Sin Seng Hong holds their title, as their children Hi Srey Touch, 12, and Hi Sok Heng, 9, look on from the steps of their home. Yet the family has yet to receive agricultural land, and so Che He has to work on a nearby farm to earn money to support his family of four. Life with Dignity and Dan Church Aid, both members of the ACT Alliance, have assisted community members and local authorities in Boeung Pram as they carry out the social land concession.
