Years Operating
Rural Cambodia baseline (CSES 2023): Average rural household income is ~$15.70/day (4.5 persons), or ~$3.49 per capita/day. The national poverty line sits at $2.70–$3.00 per person/day. Pilot participants typically start near or below this threshold. The +41% figure represents measured income increase across participating households in the Samlout pilot area over 3 years.
Conservation
Forest Protection
- -63% reported chainsaw activity in project communities (measured by days of audible chainsaw activity reported by local villagers)
- Wildlife crime intelligence shared with Wildlife Alliance
- Former illegal loggers now employed as forest guardians
-63%
Illegal logging reduction
2024
Drone monitoring launched
Real-time detection enables rapid referral of environmental concerns through approved channels — turning community presence into measurable conservation outcomes.
Sustainability
Food Security & Aquaculture
- Walking catfish (Clarias batrachus): 3,000 fingerlings per 8m tank, 500–1,000g harvest weight
- Yield: 26.8–53.7 kg/m² per cycle — exceeds peer-reviewed benchmark by 12–29x
- Closed-loop: fish waste → irrigation → agriculture → fertilizer

Solar-powered water circulation. Walking catfish selected for air-breathing capability in off-grid conditions. Nutrient-rich wastewater flows into planting beds.
Livelihoods
Economic Empowerment
- 15 women-led families received dairy cows (2025–2026)
- Cow bank and goat enterprise models generating sustainable revenue
- Community enterprise jobs across 3 provinces

Goat herds grew from 40 to 130 animals, with 90 sold to market — a model replicated three consecutive years. Fertilizer from the goats generates a second income stream.
Adaptation
Climate Resilience
- Solar-powered community hubs with zero energy costs
- Water well access and double-crop capacity via irrigation
- Integrated systems designed for climate adaptation
- Community-managed infrastructure across Battambang, Pursat, Kampong Chhnang

Crop capacity via irrigation
Heavy equipment rebuilt levees and created water storage that lets farmers plant two rice crops a year instead of one — turning flood-prone land into productive capacity.
