LHA is a non profit, non government and non political organisation. It was founded in 2005 by the monks of Watt Damnak and friends.

The Sustainable Community Project,  formerly named "Food for Education project", began in 2005 and was the first initiative of  LHA.
Being aware that many families were poor and could not afford to send children  to school, LHA started providing them with rice, uniforms and school supplies.
Currently, there are 160 families supported by this program.

The project is now expanding and will include agricultural training for the families so they can grow vegetables around their homes, and a Sewing/Craft shelter where the women of the Commune can learn sewing, weaving and other skills. This will enable them to make and repair clothes, and create a cottage industry.

RFC  fund these initiatives and the shelter will be built with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Kerang Victoria.

(Project advancing girls education)

Despite the clear benefits of education, young girls lag far behind boys in terms of their participation in Cambodia's education system, particularly at the upper levels. In 1998, it was reported that only two out of three females (66%) between 15- and 24-years-old could demonstrate basic literacy. This compares with an 83 percent literacy rate among males in the same age group. Similarly, girls are far less likely to make the transition from primary to junior high school than boys, and dropout rates are significantly higher.
PAGE is a place for girls who wish to continue their education through high school and beyond. It is primary goal of PAGE to provide educational and life assistance to young girls of Cambodia, so they may improve themselves, their families, and find hope in life.
