In close collaboration with the NGO avec<\/strong>, WeCare-Association is supporting the construction of an 81 m\u00b2 library<\/strong> at the vocational training center in Battambang. This library is designed to be a safe and inspiring learning space for over 440 underprivileged children<\/strong> – including the 400 students in the English and computer classes and the children living in the Safe House.\u00a0<\/p>

The goal is to create a nurturing environment that encourages reading, independent learning, and educational development. The library will be child-friendly and equipped with wall-mounted bookshelves, low tables, floor cushions, and books in both Khmer and English. It will also serve as a psychologically safe haven for children who have experienced trauma.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Another ongoing initiative supported by the WeCare-Association is the social lifestyle brand Femmes des rizi\u00e8res<\/strong>, which offers new opportunities for unemployed and socially disadvantaged women in Battambang.\u00a0<\/p>

In a safe and supportive studio environment, women handcraft fashion and lifestyle products using traditional Cambodian sarong fabrics<\/strong> and mostly recycled materials<\/strong>. Participants receive fair payment, and professional training in design, production techniques and quality control.\u00a0<\/p>

The project combines aesthetics with social impact: Femmes des rizi\u00e8res<\/strong> stands for slow fashion, transparency,\u00a0 and dignity. Every purchase supports not only fair working conditions but also helps preserve local identity and craftsmanship.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
