SCHOOL COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION & COMMUNITY SANITATION
Trapean Svay Hom Commune, Siem Reap Province
Project Overview
“Lifting Communities Through Children’s Education and Health”
The Scintillae Foundation has just launched a high-impact project in Trapean Svay, an underprivileged rural community in Cambodia. This two-phase project addresses two of the community’s most urgent needs: access to quality education and improved sanitation and hygiene infrastructure.
PHASE 1: School Complex Construction
-
- Construction of a school building with 5 furnished and well ventilated classrooms built to durable standards.
-
- Construction of a modern sanitary block with 6 toilets connected to proper septic systems.
-
- Educational support which include classroom furnitures, whitboards, desks, and learning materials for students.
PHASE 2: Community Sanitation Improvement
Recognising that education outcomes are deeply connected to overall community health, Phase 2 will expand the projects reach to improve household sanitation and access to clean water for the most vulnerable families in the village:
-
- Installation of 70 family toilets with septic tanks.
-
- Drilling and installation of 30 clean water wells to provide safe, potable water for every day use.
Local Context – Village of Trapean Svay
-
- Located 20 km from Siem Reap, Trapean Svay is home to around 300 families, with many of whom live in poverty.
-
- The local school hosts 300 students (166 boys and 138 girls) but all infrastructures are in poor condition: old wooden structures, lack of proper sanitation, overcrowding.
-
- Despite this, the school’s management is backed by a reliable administration and highly motivated teachers.
Project Objective
-
- Provide a safe and healthy learning environment for children.
-
- Reduce hygiene-related illnesses of children and therefore increase school attendance by improving sanitation and clean water in villages.
School project to start in July/August 2025 followed by the Community sanitation and water wells construction.
