Dear Madam/Sir,
We are (Save Children and Rural Poor People) the Cambodian NGO seeking development grant for sustainable livelihood project, to be implemented in Chnok True area, Kampong Chhnang province, Cambodia.
An innovative concept of the project is to improve WASH facilities at household and community levels, and to use treated wastewater and recycled organic solid wastes for farm and home gardening. In conjunction with this, the project will provide agriculture technique, introduce the short-term and high yield variety crops, animal species, new technology of water sourcing and irrigation system, and produce a washing liquid that effectively kill bacteria/parasite/pathogen for washing fruit, vegetable and for washing hands. Slurry from biogas and wastewater treatment system will be used to enrich soil.
Please be informed that the government has recently relocated people from floating community on Tonle Sap Lake to the land area in Chnok True in a very rough manner. Relocating people are living with hunger, and some of them go back to floating village due to serious hunger, while some people are engaging eventually agriculture business.
We believe that our project will be able to teach the government on future relocation preparation, able to conserve water body, and able to teach the government on sustainable livelihood improvement in a climate change context.
Again, we would like to seek your advice if we are eligible to apply for grant with The Nordic Climate Facility (NCF)
We thank you in advance for your kind consideration and feedback
With kind regards,
Thong Chan Phin
Executive Director, SCRP
