Through the support of Habitat Cambodia, Heng’s new house provides a safe space for her children to live and play and includes a proper toilet as well as security from extreme weather. Your support can make a difference for families like Heng's. Donate today: www.habitatireland.org/donate

Heng and her family of five used to live in a dilapidated hut made of old zinc sheets, which lacked even a proper door or lock, providing neither safety nor comfort. Now, Heng can help her children study in their new home, without fear of the rain coming in through the roof.
