Rin Aek family with seven children is one among other families within this village that they began their home-grown garden since the well was established. This family has been selected to be demo family in community under encouraging and supporting from SSF Foundation. Our team had supported this family like agriculture technique, capital to build the water tank (1.5m x 3m x 1m ) Rin could grow vegetable every month very well with his water tank, although have only one pump well in his community.
His family could be earn the profit from growing vegetable amount 2.5-5 USD per day by his wife take vegetable to self by her self at the market (Kampong Speu Province) that works has bring his family have better living, sufficient vegetable for daily consumption by don’t need to spend on vegetable or something and his child could go to school with some money pocket “he said with smiling face and acknowledge to SSF”.
He added that previously his family couldn’t grow vegetable regular in the dry season he could grow some months and he could be earn some profit just 2 USD per day only, sometime nothing. So his family living in difficult condition, deficient daily food for eating and in his growing he have to gather water at less 100-200 container per day to irrigate vegetable, so he have to do weighty works every day for stomach and his wife always try to work hard together but the family living still in deficient.
In the future Rin still carry on his growing, he keen to expand growing and raising fish in the water tank, chickens as well. He hope that if he could get more knowledge about to do so and capital to expand water tank, so his family will be more better and could be let his community to follow.
