These events destroyed societal fabric and norms, decimated knowledge bases, and crippled infrastructure. The impact is still felt today by the next generations of Cambodian people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609650439508-LTOHZ3CDHBIQ0KUX3EVQ/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1379.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/830ce0bb-103a-4500-b122-79e43f36151d/IMG_7991%5B13%5D.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1613166719949-WPDZNTVBN810KV0JUOZG/Unknown-2.jpeg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/55637034-5721-4c40-8f1c-fd5c1ae3dfb3/IMG_1029%5B2%5D.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/9ecd47ad-1c57-4c62-90f4-4482504ac47f/IMG_1047%5B23%5D.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/cf88dec5-6025-4ff9-b7f6-eb6551eda444/Screen+Shot+2021-02-28+at+3.40.11+PM.png Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/c8242b76-0101-49e7-931a-074e65efff79/IMG_7993%5B62%5D.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1610855265417-9JVDHVEJCOKGIYRN2J5U/_21_0236.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1614556545561-KYIRAE0U3PISOS33AVFN/IMG_8053%255B34%255D.jpg Why Cambodia? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/4e9138f8-2860-4d36-96fa-30c7311c0a2d/IMG_7987%5B94%5D.jpg Why Cambodia? https://www.onedegreeforward.ca/school-development daily 0.75 2025-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1603860896674-7JZ2QHC42QLEFXYM3E58/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1412.jpg Educational Infrastructure - Developing School Infrastructure Teacher Orientation at Samrong School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609690706190-3AE6YBIK48M927J8POLH/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-2058+%283%29.jpg Educational Infrastructure - Education Programs Programs focus on English skills to improve opportunities for employment and further education.

The New Bridge Foundation was established through the sheer force of will of some very determined villagers with a desire to improve the lives of the next generation of children living in their community. Through their own hard-won education, they saw that their goals of clean water and improved schooling were within reach if they rolled up their sleeves and laid the groundwork themselves. Their story is Cambodia’s story. They have a determined spirit and want to build a path for others to follow. No big organization; no offices; no Range Rovers; just mopeds and a desire to build better lives for their people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609649815715-6G4OOHO16UCHBWEW2IRB/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-2103.jpg Our Philosophy - Every Dollar Counts One Degree Forward’s charity model is designed to be cost effective and impactful. Our goal is for a minimum of 95% of all funds raised to go directly to helping Cambodians. Through engagement with local donees we are able to eliminate intermediaries from the process. All internal work at One Degree Forward is done on a pro bono basis. We focus on manageable, scaled projects with evolving initiatives based on feedback.

To date we have supplied villagers in Krov and Samrong over 55 wells, 75 filters, and 15 latrines, all of which are still in service. In 2025 we initiated a broader clean water program. The schools now provide clean water to any villager in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609656709305-VAN3IAQBEHVPSDEGUZ7X/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1532.jpg Water Projects - Water Conditions Approximately 70% of villagers have a well that they access for water; the remainder source water from ponds, rivers, ditches, and dugouts. Only 50% of families have proper sanitation facilities. Of the existing wells, many are too shallow and contaminated with E. coli and other bacterial forms which thrive from the lack of proper sanitation and the Cambodian heat. Water sources can have mineral contamination and require filtration prior to human consumption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1606180351993-UZLMGGTPEZIE00Q00Z3M/One+Degree+Forward+Well.png Water Projects - Water Technology Our wells are typically 75-100 feet in depth, cased, can be hand pumped, and are easy to maintain. For the Samrong and Krov Schools that service a larger population, deeper wells have been drilled with higher capacity and electric pumps. These wells are supplemented with tank storage, extra filtering, UV treatment, and water quality monitoring on a quarterly basis. Each well-site is equipped with CASWT designed passive bio-filters which eliminates 98% of contaminants. Every family that receives water support is educated on clean water protocols and given a maintenance contact in case of any issues. Wells can also be adapted to electrical pumps for small plot irrigation for villagers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657009366-A9DQHE41GGDZPYDB9PCX/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1598.jpg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657008045-DMNG7UHQN9DQVJJ6OV58/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1500.jpg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657007907-BMHEG3C2WORVBX0J0HKY/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1982.jpg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657013376-2CU2QFSJPG5YP7OTMEYL/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-2342.jpg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657102289-XWY93L92FJHQGCIO2LBD/received_566758584254909.jpeg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657622441-IWNOXY6UW2V8NX8J8FBU/received_259731002079611.jpeg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657622596-H5A44OPV3U8UQU3H5QRK/received_1561983253975584.jpeg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609657623060-2G9D8HVMWTF8N1H1NW3K/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1795.jpg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1610854938005-R9ORMZTYTE2I3INYX77Q/Water+Testing.jpeg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1610855589212-FZCYI6BZJIK6OYW3P98T/0005_26.jpg Water Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/f7caccc7-dedf-4204-b0c0-4b36c667926d/IMG_1158%5B83%5D.jpg Water Projects https://www.onedegreeforward.ca/volunteer-spotlight daily 0.75 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1609692069667-J74LVXLYCD9399RD6HQI/IMG_5052.jpg Volunteer Spotlight - high “give a crap” quotient Volunteers represent a cross-section of Canadians who understand the value of directly contributing to improving the lives of those less fortunate; we view it as an obligation that we owe to each other as humans. We have a wide breadth of experiences and perspectives. Each person brings their individual best whether it be time, money, or skills to support our Cambodian donees in achieving their goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1614558708099-WH5I5BWQLI9299AOIFMU/IMG_1058%255B72%255D.jpg Volunteer Spotlight - Todd Why get involved? Having visited the country prior to getting involved, I came back home after the first visit and realized how poorly this country have been treated over many decades. In my experience the people of Cambodia are amazingly resilient and resourceful. Seeing their deep desire to make a better life for themselves with what little they had prompted me to get involved. Seeing their strong work ethic only motivated me more to see how I could get involved and be a small part of their success in creating a better life with them. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME? Making a positive impact in their lives in a meaningful and long-lasting manner. Not just sending money to temporarily fix a problem but building long term solutions so future generations will benefit as well. Knowing the resources put forward will go directly to the ground making a greater and direct impact in their lives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1610858775020-0BTK81J90UMIAMLF4XYI/20191118_191212.jpg%5B57%5D.jpeg Volunteer Spotlight - Mike Why get involved? Being asked to join One Degree Canada as the project was a step or two out of its infancy was a moment of true serendipity. Having gone through some massive life changes myself and growing a deep connection with Murray and Val I was presented with the opportunity to make a positive impact on a great number of people and generations to come. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME? Though thoroughly cliche, I never imagined the impact the Cambodian villagers would, and will continue to have on me. https://www.onedegreeforward.ca/one-degree-forward daily 1.0 2025-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1611619249744-020OD7HQLHGKUQ9QEI8M/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-0883.jpg One Degree Forward https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1318543e-44bc-4f05-bf0d-beb1bb3f1a71/AKGpihZU2e3jSW09BE5MCYHdakMu0NF_yKSoMwMEeU7qu2P02yiuUKFcqR7SqssA1gL8nR0U4btRocOAjtgKkv13-viD6BocE One Degree Forward https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1613171052156-4EW2Z0ORCARQQER1Y0EK/IMG_8129.jpg One Degree Forward https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1613171866273-GRS7O58NHJKH4HFV4NUL/received_245168613746376.jpg One Degree Forward https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1613171141672-NILHTEIG8B28DLZAJPC9/IMG_4973.jpg One Degree Forward https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1611619225028-FDQG63BUPTTZ9B3GGHSI/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1334+%281%29.jpg One Degree Forward https://www.onedegreeforward.ca/how-you-can-help daily 0.75 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1611622685409-X8UMHNYAXS5FYOA2MJLK/2020-01+-+Cambodia+%26+Vietnam-1732.jpg How You Can Help - Get Involved We’re always looking for like-minded individuals looking to make a difference.

Samrong is focused on garden crops and supplying village needs as well as developing skills in agriculture. The program now supports both the food program at the school and other Cambodian schools in the surrounding region. They now have the capability of producing upwards of four crops a year and are continuing to expand the program in 2025. The Krov school land and terrain were more suited for tree growth. In 2024, we undertook a project recontouring the land, which both improved drainage and set the stage for the creation of a significant orchard of local fruits right on the property. This will significantly supplement the extensive food program at the school as well as support food supplies for some of the villagers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/42ae2d37-3f95-4d49-9bff-d2498934c942/277298942_658798308717505_3324577039085084996_n.jpg Programs - Sewing Program Teacher Orientation at Samrong School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/38272073-7234-414b-8364-be33c0d63945/90ad2c9f-1ee3-462c-9700-d28820a98d1d.jpeg Programs - VISION CARE In February 2025 with the support FYI Doctors and Canadian Vision Care, a program was undertaken to screen village elders, staff, students, and other members of the community for vision-related issues. The team saw 1047 patients, distributed over 700 pairs of reading, prescription, and sunglasses, plus identified patients that required specialty prescriptions and had those glasses made. Serious health issues were forwarded directly to the provincial health authority. Twenty patients were identified as good candidates for cataract operations. An NGO has been identified that will handle the logistics of the operations, and we are fundraising to help support the completion of this program. We anticipate repeating this with villagers in 2028. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/0e992f7e-6437-4b07-a192-244a8e269a39/PHOTO-2025-08-12-21-29-04.jpeg Programs - COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY Coming in 2026. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/69e5438c-4291-4885-8057-673fc387074a/00ac10b4-a552-4a20-8461-8a30b5a2e432.jpeg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/7b52c7cd-b199-4f66-b3d8-8a25cb3dc72f/15592aa9-f42f-49db-9ec6-7ad450bcea0d.jpeg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/58648922-55b0-4549-a15b-0afaf655e563/75fb091e-e98b-4b8c-b77f-11e93876d10c.jpeg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/14125b28-cfd8-4873-81ce-6b34a7008b52/IMG_5446.jpeg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/1dc9b2e1-8b43-4a1c-807f-2189fb025a03/63bc8dd1-22cf-4295-93e9-b84acec49599.JPG Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/b7fe6e55-4cba-4cb3-90dc-9604eaef85c4/397656ff-dcf5-493a-ae0b-4831c24bed48.JPG Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/de492592-73f1-4c8e-bf1e-25f49cf65821/Student+learn+how+to+cut+boy+and+girl+Shirt.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e82a147184d676b133c2393/42ae2d37-3f95-4d49-9bff-d2498934c942/277298942_658798308717505_3324577039085084996_n.jpg Programs
