Kampong Speu province has the largest palm tree plantations in Cambodia. Speu is star fruit in Khmer.
A 2006 World Bank/ILO report states that nearly 1.5 million Cambodian children aged 7 to 17 were engaged in child labour.
School registration rates decline as children age, with 23% of those 15 to 17 years old no longer attending school. (These figures, however, can be misleading as the registration rates do not necessarily mean the students are attending school.) The illiteracy rate is calculated at 6% for those aged 15 to 60, though doubts have been expressed about how literacy is measured. Baseline surveys have shown that the three most common reasons Cambodian children do not receive an education are: 1) there is no school in the village or the school is too far away; 2) the school has no teacher, or the teacher does not show up often; and 3) the parents are too poor to afford school supplies and uniforms, or food for their children.

Leadership
The assassination of Mr. Sao Sary, Vichetr Uons father, in 1998 he was responsible for sparked the creating of Sao Sary Foundation. Soon after that, Vichetr was supported by his Australian foster brother that enabled him to go to university. From there, he went on to work in various International NGOs for almost a decade, the most prominent being Church World Service. Following the footsteps of his father, Vichetr Uons next step was to create this foundation to put an end on human trafficking, violence, exploitation and abuse against women, children and vulnerable people. His works have been well documented and recognized by numerous international mediums due to its widespread and effective reach of vulnerable and poor communities in Kampong Speu. His efforts were documented by the BBC and recently, he was chosen as a young leader to represent Cambodia in the Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit 2010.
