The Lboek Svay Village, Svay Chek Commune is located in the Svay
Chek District, Banteay Mean Chey Province and home to 629 people
in 167 families. During the civil war (1979-1997) the village was
used by the military and landmines were placed around the area to
protect their installations. Since that time one person has been
killed, four injured and three animals have been killed by landmines.

land and allow for the economic development of the village, especially
for the ten poorest families who rely on farming for their livelihood.
