Our Beneficiaries
Phnom Penh (2012-2014)
The beneficiaries in Phnom Penh were occupants of the urban dumpsite communities and SMILE village. SMILE Village is an initiative by PSE and STEP to relocate the residents of the slums into a new compound, empowering them to be self-sufficient and function as a community. Following the emergence of more student-led projects interested in this municipality in 2014, Project Sothea successfully handed over its health-related duties to a new team at the start of 2015.
Battambang (2010-present)
Our current beneficiaries in Battambang are the rural villagers in Srae Ou who have poor access to quality healthcare. We are planning a long-term project with an exit plan after 5-10 years, in which we hope to integrate the locals back into their healthcare system.

Amongst adults: Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Musculoskeletal conditions and Gastrointestinal disease
