Our Chicken Raising Training is one of our skills development trainings we offer in our Food Security Program, which helps to building self-sustaining families & communities in rural Cambodia.  Other trainings we offer through our Food Security Program are: horticulture and soil management, composting, organic pesticide and fertilizer, and homestead gardening.  We provide trainings in all of our four programs:  Health, Food Security, Education and Economic Development.   

In rural Cambodia, our staff had an opportunity to speak with one of our bio-sand water filter recipients.  She shares about the improvements her family is experiencing.  

Help provide 2 sets of school uniforms to a rural Cambodian student and take the burden off their family.  Education is free in Cambodia, but there are requirements.  One of those requirements is to purchase uniforms for their students, which many families can’t afford. The cost for 2 sets is $30.  Give in full or part, every amount helps to bring a smile to a child’s face.

As a volunteers, you may experience one day in the field on a water filter delivery. Thank you to our volunteers.  Clementine made the videos, Emily is explaining the process.

According to the village chief, Mr. Nhem, “We received around 50 latrines from Trailblazer Foundation in our village. So, we were very happy Trailblazer’s Health Program came to our community. Before getting latrines, some villagers went to defecate everywhere in our village such as dig the soil or went to the fields around village causing many diseases in my village. ” He said, “We need more latrines for my village. I hope Trailblazer can do more latrines for my village.”  The cost to construct a latrine is $175. In order to purchase the supplies and for labor we need to raise money for 20 latrines.

Here is a news report on Trailblazer Foundation's Bio Sand Water Filter program in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This report comes from CityNews Television, in Toronto, Canada. It was broadcast on April 6, 2009. 

Learn more about the process Trailblazer Foundation uses in finding recipients for wells and water filters through the Village Integrated Workshops.   

With easier access to clean water, the villagers started growing healthier crops. They then started to request for farmers training to build their farming businesses. As the needs of the people they supported developed, so Trailblazer’s activities evolved together with the community. The growth of quality crops catalysed the birth of Trailblazer’s farmers training programme with the help of B1G1’s amazing Worthy Causes.
