Where Are We

We work in Kratie and Stung Treng provinces in Cambodia.

These two provinces are located in the East of Cambodia and lie on the banks of the Mekong River. The provinces consists of thick forested area, where you still can see the 1970-75 bombings due to big craters in the countryside, some filled with water.

You also may find the typical plain wet area for Cambodia, covering rice fields and other agricultural plantations.

The provinces feature the biggest river of the country, the mighty Mekong with its small rapids and critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphins.

Stung Treng province

Stung Treng province, which covers an area of 11,092 square kilometres, is a remote and sparsely populated province in the northeast of Cambodia.

It borders Lao to the north, Ratanakiri to the east, Preah Vihear to the west and Kratie and Kompong Thom to the south. The province is divided into four districts, one municipal, 34 communes and 128 villages.

The population of the province is 117,490 people including 59,333 women (Report 2011 from Provincial Department of Planning).

Stung Treng is a unique province quite distinct from other Cambodian provinces in the Mekong basin. Extensive forests, intersecting rivers and streams and low population density characterize it. The province also features three big rivers the Tonle Kong, the Tonle San and the mighty Mekong with its hundreds of small islands scattered on the river stretch in Stung Treng Province.

Kratie province

Kratie province is bordering to the North with Stueng Treng, to the East with Mondulkiri, to the West with Kampong Thom and to the South with Kampong Cham.

The provincial capital is also called Kratie and lies on the banks of the Mekong River, which emboss the provinces from the North to the South.

Kratie province is 11,094 square kilometres big, with 83% of forest, 8% of agricultural land and 0.5% of red land.

The current population of Kratie is approximately 290,000 and the population density is 26 people er sq.km.

Roughly 70% of the people live along the river, whereas 30% live in the mountainous area. There are seven types of tribes in Kratie: the Phnorng, the Kouy, the Mil, the Khonh, the Steang, and the Thamoun.
