The motivation of SEAJA's founders: Stéphane
In 2006, my friend Jean-Marc, who also has a little girl adopted from Cambodia, and I set out on a journey to discover our children's origins.
A journey rich in emotion
This two-week backpacking trip takes us through the countryside between Kampong Cham and Kampong Thom.
It was an emotional shock to see the precariousness of the villages and the living conditions of the families, often deprived of water and electricity, where feeding themselves is a daily challenge.
Friends who are committed
Since 2006, Jean-Marc and I have been doing everything we can to stay in touch with these families and the orphanage in Kampong Thom. Thanks to Sean Chea, our correspondent on site, we are able to provide assistance within our means.
In 2010, a professional opportunity allowed me to move my family to Asia, bringing us closer to Cambodia and enabling us to travel there more often.
Seaja was born...
It was from this experience that the idea of “Agile” projects in villages was born, which SEAJA is now committed to carrying forward in memory of Jean-Marc and Sean Chea, who passed away this year.
The motivation of SEAJA's founders: Patrice
In 2016, my professional life took me to Thailand, specifically to Krabi. As soon as I arrived, I explored the area around where I was staying. During my walk, I came across a large abandoned building. My attention was drawn to two names written on the façade: St. Agnes and St. Joseph. These are the names of my mother and father. At that moment, I knew that this building had to be renovated to offer Thai children a better future.
SEAJA's missions:
SEAJA is committed to identifying and qualifying projects aimed at improving daily life in Cambodia, particularly in areas far from Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, which are often perceived as being better equipped.
Simple projects, an effective method
Adopting an Agile approach, it supports, through simple projects, the improvement of living conditions and, above all, the education of children in many villages.
Support from local teams
SEAJA relies on local teams and stakeholders capable of ensuring effective coordination for the implementation of projects. In each village, in-depth discussions are held to devise and implement solutions that will enable a minimum level of financial autonomy to be achieved.
