1 PROJECT SUMMARY
1.1 Agri-Project
The Agri-Project is a sub project of the Phnom Penh Dormitory project. The project involves trial interventions designed to address chronic malnutrition and health issues arising from lack of finances and poor choices by students in nutrition. The project seeks to educate students and families with financial literacy training and nutrition training. It further seeks to assist families to develop better agricultural practices in order to maximise income and increase the amount of money spent on student health and nutrition. The initial trial was based on 5 families with 1 family dropping out of the program early in the process.
1.3 Results
Some impact is evident from project activities, but the delayed implementation of some project activities has limited the outcome. Project implementation shows that financial literacy training and nutrition training for students and families will be important to stronger results. A more comprehensive evaluation of results is found in the Agri-Project trial evaluation.

$10,800.00
2.1 Replanting costs cover the costs for purchasing additional rice
seedlings and providing appropriate water for growth. The new crop would be ready in January or February and should provide enough rice to keep a family in food for the year if they tighten their belts.
2.3 Transport and Moto cover the costs of moving staff around the
provinces. For long distances, road travel is dangerous, so staff travel by taxi van or by bus. For closer provinces, the employees use their own motorbikes. Recognising the damage the increased useage brings, the project would supply a second hand moto.
2.4 Extension and Equipment costs cover the purchases directly used in
agriculture, but not covered by the one off rice planting funds. Equipment includes anything from computers to tools.
