Our Work
For each trip that we are there, Project Lokun aims to fulfill 3 objectives:
Health Screenings Health Education Clinics and Referrals, Lokun’s Potential!
Our Funding Needs!
For all projects, the key boundary is funding. Having the right amount of funds may make one trip successful, but we at Project Lokun hope for a sustained interest in supporting us through several trips that can allow for expansion of our resources and better medical supplies. The funds that we raise do not go to our personal expenditure. In fact, the team’s accommodation, food, travel...

It is of paramount importance to us to hear from anybody who would like to help us. So don’t be shy! We’re willing to be corrected should any aspect of our project be in want, or to share our ideas with others who would like to know more!

CROAP
CROAP stands for Centre for Research on Optimal Agricultural Practices. It is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) dedicated to help improve the lives of villagers and farmers within the Pursat Province.
CROAP is headed by Father Hernan Pinilla, and under him and his team of locals. An Agricultural School was set up to help teach young farmers techniques and knowledge essential for achieving a...
Our Work - Clinics & Referrals
For all still-developing medical projects, Clinics is perhaps the most anticipated, yet the least sustainable and impactful aspect of our work. At the end of the trip, we will always ask ourselves if being there has made any difference to the community at all, that if by going there, the greater benefit came to those who went, not the people we are going to help. Project Lokun has acknowledged...
Our Work - Health Education
A major aspect of our work in Project Lokun is to help build awareness on hygiene on both personal and community levels. We aim to encourage the students and villagers to commit to looking out for their households and one another in a bid to foster better relations with better healthcare. Hence, our Education portion is split into two segments: School Education and House-to-House visits.
School...
Our Work - Health Screenings
It is always heartwarming to be able to care for children! As the majority of our work takes place in schools within the various villages, part of our contribution to the people there is to provide a health screening session for their children attending the schools there. We aim to highlight several healthcare issues early enough and to educate the children on how to better take care of...
Our Financial Forecast for 2 Trips!
Below we have a rough estimate of the expenditure we would have to incur while planning for 2 trips within one year. All donations and sponsorships are aimed at these aspects of our project and would not cover the team’s travel or accommodation expenses. We hope that you might be interested in supporting us by targeting certain areas in our funding that would aid us in our work!
List for Essential Medical Supplies
This is a rough list of essential supplies we need to carry out clinics as well as health screenings. We aim to seek donations or sponsorship for medical equipment and supplies, while drugs would most likely have to be bought in Cambodia itself as we continually have to resupply each day within the duration of the trip and to provide enough for our local doctor. Hence we hope for sponsors willing...
