The village is located in one of the poorest slum areas of Siem Reap. Over 500 families live here made up of former army personnel, karaoke/sex workers and displaced men, women and children. Living conditions are appalling and education and work opportunities are scarce. NHC provides education to a large number of children and supports others through higher education even offering scholarships to enable 30 students and staff to attend university.
