A Cambodian family finds hope for their future through a Samaritan's Purse beekeeping program.
Seangly and her husband farmed in the Pailin Province in Cambodia but after he became too sick to work, they fell behind on their bills. Money and other essentials became scarce. Seangly feared for her family’s future.
Seangly tends to her precious beehives. Samaritan's Purse also trains families on how to care for their bees and teaches best practices to grow a successful business.
“I was sad and concerned,” she said, “that one day our land and house will be confiscated.”
Samaritan’s Purse came alongside Seangly and her family through a beekeeping livelihood program. As she learned to care for the 10 hives she was given, her outlook radically changed. Now, she had hope.
“Firstly, I could see honey as a source of income to buy medicine for my husband, as well as food, and [we] could also pay debts,” Seangly said. “Before I was scared that my land would be taken, but now I’m so happy. Thanks again to Samaritan’s Purse from my heart.”
Watch the video story above to learn more about how God is providing for Seangly and other families in Cambodia through beekeeping. Each family we help gives us an opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them so that they have hope, not just for today, but for eternity.
