Sinn Meang

Founder | Managing Director

VBC’s charismatic founder and director, Sinn Meang, works tirelessly to improve the lives of fellow Cambodians. Like many Khmer people he knows first-hand what it is like to be poor. Born during the Khmer Rouge rule, he is the youngest child in a family of four. His father died when he was very young and he grew up in a poor family in a rural fishing village. Despite these early adversities, Sinn’s determination to make a difference has fueled his efforts at VBC. His leadership is driven by a deep understanding of the struggles faced by many Cambodians, and his tireless work reflects a profound commitment to improving the well-being of his community.
