I HOPE
Phnom Penh, Cambodia

I Hope (formerly known as Kone Kmeng) began as a bridge between charitable financial donors and churches in Cambodia that desperately needed assistance to support children-at-risk. I Hope's efforts have grown from several small, temporary outreaches such as motor repair training, and nutrition for babies in poor health into projects that are building the local communities through programs such as non-formal education, micro-loan financing, and sanitation installation programs.



COLLABORATION WITH KERU


Keru has engaged in water projects with I Hope for several years. In addition to conducting surveys in Kampong Thon, Banteay Meanchey and Svay Rieng provinces, our teams have also explored biosand filter solutions for removing arsenic and purifying water.
