Supporting Cambodia’s Forgotten Muslim Communities

Based on an Eye-Witness account following a recent visit
In rural Cambodia, Muslim communities are working hard to rebuild their lives and preserve their faith. Yet many families continue to face severe poverty, unreliable access to clean water and limited educational opportunities for their children.

During our visit, we saw these challenges first-hand. We also witnessed resilient communities, committed teachers and families determined to build a better future. Here you can see the home of a family in Kampung Lveang Soksan, in Kratie, Cambodia.

ACE is working alongside trusted local partners to provide immediate assistance while developing projects that can create lasting, sustainable change.

What We Witnessed

In some of the villages we visited, almost every household was living in circumstances that would make them eligible to receive Zakat. Families had constructed basic containers lined with plastic sheets to collect and store rainwater. However, after a prolonged period without rain, the containers were completely dry.

When we asked villagers what support would make the greatest difference, their first request was for a water well. Reliable access to clean water would support:

    • The communities also asked for a place where they could pray together and where their children could receive Islamic education.

    Our Work in Cambodia

    ACE’s developing Cambodia programme brings together immediate relief, education, essential village infrastructure and long-term sustainability.

    Education and Student Sponsorship
    For some children, completing primary school marks the end of their education—not because they lack ability or ambition, but because the nearest secondary schools are too far away and their families cannot afford the associated costs.

    An annual sponsorship of approximately £375 (US$500) provides:


    • Clean Water for Rural Villages
    Some villages have no dependable source of clean water and remain reliant on seasonal rainfall. ACE aims to support the development of sustainable water wells that can provide water for drinking, cooking and washing, while also supporting livestock and agriculture.

    Masjid and Madrassah Development

    The villages we visited longed for a suitable place in which to pray and somewhere their children could learn about Islam. A combined masjid and madrassah would provide a lasting centre for worship, Islamic education and community life.
