The Kampong Khleang Monthly Community Cleanup Movement is a growing grassroots initiative that mobilizes local authorities, youth, and community members to protect the fragile ecosystem of Tonle Sap Lake. The movement takes place during the last weekend of each month and was officially launched on 28 January 2026, with generous support from our partners and supporters including Rivers.Global and Ocean Recovery Alliance.
Since the launch, the initiative has continued to gain momentum, with successful cleanup events held on 28 February and 28 March 2026. These activities have brought together strong participation from the District Governor and his administration, commune council members, the local ecotourism community, teachers, and students. Altogether, approximately 350 participants have joined the monthly cleanups, demonstrating a shared commitment to protecting the environment and improving community well-being.
Beyond removing waste, the movement focuses on long-term environmental awareness and behavior change. Volunteers actively engage with residents through door-to-door outreach, encouraging households to participate in maintaining a cleaner environment. Families that demonstrate commitment to proper waste management and community participation will be recognized and certified as โClean Family Role Models.โ
Youth leadership is a key pillar of the initiative. During the most recent cleanup event, Mr. Kim Vannak presented 30 bicycles donated by charitable supporters to the Eco Youth Club at Kampong Khleang High School. These bicycles will enable student volunteers to travel more easily between villages and support environmental outreach across the community.
Recently, 100 students were selected to join the Eco Youth Club, where they will receive environmental education, leadership training, and practical experience in community engagement. The students will be organized into 10 teams, each assigned to work with one of the 10 villages in Kampong Khleang. Through this structure, the youth will become environmental ambassadors, leading awareness campaigns and supporting local action for a cleaner community.
In the coming months, the students will launch the โKampong Khleang Cleanup Challenge,โ visiting households to inspire families to join the cleanup movement and adopt environmentally responsible practices. Households that actively participate will be recognized as โClean Family Role Models,โ helping to build pride and long-term ownership within the community.
The movement will continue to expand in the months ahead and will culminate on June 5, in celebration of World Environment Day. This milestone will also contribute to honoring Tonle Sap Lake โ the โInland Oceanโ of Cambodia โ during the Inland Ocean Festival, highlighting the importance of community action in protecting one of Southeast Asiaโs most vital freshwater ecosystems.
