        Detailed Description

        Located around 16 km from Siem Reap, Kompheim Village is a small village of farmers and itinerant workers. The town is a mixture of type one, two, and three households. Type one families typically struggle to meet daily needs and often struggle for food. Our day in the Life program aims to work mainly with these households. On every tour, a host family looks after the group. This host family welcomes you into their home and lives for the day. These families receive a small payment for being the host family, and a more significant contribution is made to a village fund. The village fund is used for special projects like water filters and wells. We work with the families to determine the tasks that must be undertaken. You mustn't hand out gifts or money to these families or children, no matter how dire the situation seems. Providing facilities can cause problems and jealousy among families and relatives. Should you wish to help, please discuss this with our team. You will notice that many children suffer from poor dental hygiene. Please do not buy or hand out anything; this only contributes to the problem.

        We recommend that you wear sturdy footwear like trainers/sneakers. Long sleeves and pants are ideal - we also suggest sunglasses and a hat. Please refrain from wearing revealing clothing in villages.
