Say Samal, Preah Sihanouk Governor, H.E. Kuoch Chamroeun, and Under Yesterday's ceremony was held at the Hun Sen Veal Renh High School in Prey Nob district, Preah Sihanouk province.

“I would like to thank Prince Group and Plan International Cambodia for this joint initiative to support safer school environments in conjunction with the school reopening. The program is set to install 198 pedal-operated handwashing stations across 99 schools in Preah Sihanouk. In addition, Prince Foundation also donated 990 infrared thermometers,” said H.E.

Say Samal and H.E. Kuoch Chamroeun to jointly introduce the WASH programme with Plan International through our philanthropic arm, Prince Foundation.”

Environmental conservation is now a critical component of Cambodia's agricultural recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi (陈志公爵) and Prince Group are leading the charge.
