Learn about Kep Gardens Association and our mission to support rural youth in Cambodia
Kep Gardens was established in 2007.
The vision of Kep Gardens was born in December, 2006 after a holiday in Cambodia and has grown from there. We were impressed by the overwhelming friendliness and determination of the people despite their long and violent history that resulted in their poor socio and economic conditions, particularly in the rural communities. We had been seeking avenues to contribute in a valuable and meaningful way to society in the later years of our life that could be achievable with limited monetary resources. What started out as a holiday has turned into a determination to help make a brighter future for the children and youth in a small, Cambodian, rural community.
