SEEDS International · Our final project
A joint venture of SEEDS and Cambodian Town. Four projects that connect cultures, change the world through education, and help end food shortage — the SEEDS journey, giving back to the world.
Every SEEDS student grows step by step: social development, education, economic development, business, life style, legacy and generational prosperity. SEEDS International is the final stage — sharing what we have built with the world, so the next generation in two nations can grow too.
From a landmark in Lowell to farms in Cambodia, each project builds a bridge between people.
Project 01
A Prum Bayon monument in Lowell and a “Welcome to Cambodian Town” entry sign — new landmarks that make Lowell a stronger attraction for its own residents and for visitors from across the nation. Cambodian Town has worked on this project for more than 15 years.
Project 02
Bringing people from around the world to visit Cambodia. The main purpose is education: travelers learn Cambodia’s history, from ancient glory to renewal, and discover the beauty of the countryside.
Project 03
Students from the United States study in Cambodia, and students from Cambodia study in the United States — connecting classrooms, cultures and friendships across the world.
Project 04
Building Cambodia’s farms so farmers earn more and families have enough to eat. Built on the SEEDS rice, fruit and bamboo proposals.
Each project starts on its own schedule.

The story behind SEEDS International
SEEDS International is how the SEEDS journey gives back to the world. It began with one child who survived a war. It grew, step by step, into a school, a community and now a mission that reaches across nations.
1979. A child survives the Khmer Rouge genocide. His family flees through a refugee camp in Thailand, then the Philippines.
He arrives in the United States with no language, no money and no map for what comes next.
He learns English in the back of classrooms, then builds a career in technology.
Skill becomes income. Income becomes the means to build.
He builds a business, then SEEDS: a training school that opens doors for thousands of others.
SEEDS grows to 15+ centers across eight states.
Students become licensed professionals, business owners and leaders who lift their own families and communities.
Children begin where their parents finished. The seed has become a forest.
SEEDS International: a landmark for Lowell, journeys and exchange with Cambodia, and food for families who are hungry.
Every SEEDS student starts where he started: with social development. Every student who reaches SEEDS International can duplicate this journey, and help others start their own. If everyone sees the vision, everyone can begin, from social education all the way to helping end world hunger.
One seed. One tree. One forest. Then a world that is better for everyone.
“A seed is small, but if it is planted in the right environment, it can grow into a tree that produces fruit for generations.”Senghap Roeun, Founder and Director, SEEDS
