Welcome to The Cambodian Village Fund
We’re Bill and Nancy, a retired couple. We set up a tax-exempt organization for families in Cambodia with the primary focus of improving the educational opportunities for the children.
It started with our 40th wedding anniversary and a friend’s story. Chanra Chheum bought a bike to give to her sister’s village to share. It only cost $40. |

| We wanted to give another bike to the village as our 40th anniversary present to each other. When our friends learned of our idea, they wanted to contribute as well and before we knew it, the Cambodian Village Fund had grown to over $4,000. |
