Meet the Yang Taeng Family
Representative Family in Asia
Taeng (Dad), Choun Sarim (Mom), Chantha (son), Chanthouen
(son), Sarorn (daughter), Konkia (daughter), and Sarouen (daughter)
They live in the Prey
Anse village in Cambodia’s
Kompon Speu Province
Life for the family is not easy. They make
their living growing rice on a 2.5 acre farm.
Here, Taeng and Choun Sarim inspect their yearly store of rice.
It must last them until the next year’s harvest. If they run out,
they will need to borrow money at high interest rates to meet
their family’s needs.
They also borrow money to pay for things like medicine
when one of the family members get sick.
World Renew and
a local partner,
Communities for
Transformation, are
working with the Yang
Taeng family to diversify
their crops, try new
farming techniques, and
improve their lives.
The family recently built this frog pen. Raising and selling
frogs has given the family an new source of income.
Choun Sarim also
attends the World Renew
supported Farmer
Field School (FFS). She
has learned to maximize
every inch of her farm
to grow vegetables
for her family.
Here she grows onions
in a hollowed out log
she has filled with dirt.
During her monthly classes in the Farmer Field School, Choun
Sarim works alongside others to try out new techniques.
Through programs like these, the
Yang Taeng family’s life is improving.
They even built this new outdoor kitchen.
The future looks brighter
for 12-year-old Sarorn
and her siblings
Your prayers
and gifts make
this possible.
When you decide to partner with
the Free a Family program, you get
the opportunity to connect with a
real family that World Renew is working
with - to celebrate their success, join
them in challenges, and support
them with your prayers.
Thank you!
