Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, is a vital resource for the communities that live around its shores. Despite its natural abundance, the region is marked by significant poverty, impacting the lives of the residents who depend on the lake for their livelihoods. Many communities around Tonle Sap Lake are isolated and have limited access to larger markets. This restricts their ability to sell their products at fair prices and reduces economic opportunities. Educational opportunities in the Tonle Sap Lake region are often limited. Many children do not attend school regularly, either due to the necessity of working to support their families or the lack of accessible educational facilities.
