Description
We are a family run homestay that has been around for over 10 years. Although we have been involved in the community development activities for generations, we took our initiatives to a different level when a guest who became close friend introduced us to the idea of more sustainable way to development through social business. Paul has been living with us ever since and together we have created village businesses in the area that are now impacting the lives of over 30 families.
We have weaving and natural skin care projects in the village. We are now looking to scale up and need skilled people in the following fields -
1. Web developer
2. Video and photography
3. Natural skincare experts
4. Aqua phonics experts

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is plenty to do in the area including a bike ride into the fields, visiting Takeo town and old temples from the 4th century.
We are also an hour away from the famous beach town of Kep and Rabit Island where you can enjoy your weekends. It is easy to get to the beach on a shared taxi or a tourist bus.
We are based in remote rural Cambodia and have a great homestay which allows the visitors to immerse themselves into the true village culture and find out how people live in the villages
