PROBLEM

Cambodia's rural farmers are trapped in a cycle of poverty and vulnerability. Unreliable rainfall, bringing either devastating droughts or destructive floods, often causes crop failure, wiping out their income. Adding to their struggle, the high cost of diesel fuel makes irrigation and transportation prohibitively expensive. As a result, many farmers are limited to growing only one crop per year, leaving their land's full productive potential unrealized.

SOLUTION

We empower smallholder rice farmers by addressing their biggest challenge: water access. Pteah Baitong provides fully-managed, solar-powered irrigation systems that deliver an abundant water supply with zero upfront costs or financial risks. Our integrated service offers long-term quality assurance, affordability, and accountability, ensuring farmers have the reliable water they need to thrive.

TESTIMONIALS

​Prey Kuy Farmer Group Phase 1 (PK1)

Before Pteah Baitong came in, leading farmers in my village was a heavy duty. We lacked organized water management and suffered from severe water scarcity, leaving us vulnerable and fragmented. It was every farmer for themselves.
Pteah Baitong assisted us to form a farmer group, fostering a sense of community. The introduction of solar-powered irrigation was a game-changer, providing reliable water that instantly boosted our yields and livelihoods from the first year.
Today, we have embraced teamwork, collectively working for the common good of our community. Pteah Baitong didn't just bring us water, they cultivated unity and hope that continues to thrive among us.

​Kbal Kmouch Farmer Water User Community (KK)

As the leader of Kbal Kmouch Farmer Water User Community, I saw our farmer's struggles firsthand. Water was always our biggest problem. We battled really bad droughts that dried up our fields, and our main lake would run dry when our crops needed water most. My community often barely managed to grow one crop a year, and the cost is high, especially the diesel pumps.
Then, Pteah Baitong brought their solar-powered irrigation service. Now, we have reliable water for our crops. This irrigation system solved all our water problems, and it even helps ensure our lake remains full and healthy all year round. The impact on our farmers is amazing. We can now confidently plant two crops a year, which has doubled our income!
