Basedth Church
The Basedth Church and Orphan Home was built by Foursquare Children of Promise, Cambodia in 2000.The home is located on a rural lot next to a large pond. The pond provides irrigation water for a garden and a place of recreation for the children. One of the common problems in the province is the lack of groundwater for wells.
At that time the home's water needs are met by the pond water, after it is run through a sand and ultra-violet purification system installed in 2001. Basedth is a district of Kompong Speu Province and is not a very productive province griculturally as it is prone to drought. Basedth is one of the most rural, and least populated districts in the province. Lumber used to be a major source of economic livelihood, but the area has been largely deforested over the past 20 years. Most of the members of the Basedth church are farmers working on a subsistence level. the area has been largely de-minedin the past twenty five years. and at that time AIDS, childbirth complications, malaria and poor health care have led to a large AIDS to population of orphan children at the past.
From 2001 to 2025, we have been raising many orphans and vulnerable children. At that time, they were very happy living in the Church/Home, and their Habits was a typical day begins as the children awake. Before eating breakfast, the orphans participate in devotions. the school age children either attend classes in the morning or in the late afternoon. after lunch, most of the orphans take naps, play, study, and take classes in the home. Later, they eat dinner, take care of the homes' garden and plants, and attend an English class in the home. The Basedth family orphans finish each day gathering for church devotions, before setting up their mosquito nets and going to sleep. but now we don’t raise the Orphan any more because the government want us to do the church, youth and children ministry instead. The Basedth church Sunday Service at 9 AM and Friday night at 7 p.m. they have special devotion and pray.
