The Prevention of Gender-based Violence Project, funded by the UN Trust Fund, is a one year pilot project designed to find out what contributions young people can make towards reducing gender based violence in rural communities. The project became operational in March 2010. Twenty communities and 21 Youth Star volunteers – five in Prey Veng province, four in Kampong Thom province, eight in Kratie, and four in Kampong Cham province are involved in the project.

The following three main strategies are identified in this project implementation:

1. Focus on education
2. Healthy relationship amongst youth people in the community; and
3. Domestic violence.

The Community Led Total Sanitation Project (CLTS) was implemented in cooperation with the Rural Health Department of the Ministry for Rural Development over a period of ten months.

The project was completed at the end of June 2010. As a result of the project 112 families built latrines and another 34 were in the process of building some at the end of the project timeframe. 62 of the latrines built, were built by the families of youth club members.

The One Laptop Per Child project (OLPC) was implemented in two communities with a high school-dropout rate - one school in Svay Chreas Commune, Kratie, and another in Po Peus commune, Prey Veng. Four volunteers and three teachers from Kratie and Prey Veng received on-the job training in teaching with the laptops at the school in Preah Vihear that originally launched the OLPC program in 2002.

The project is contributing to reducing school-dropout students, as children are very interested in computer activities. In total 240 primary school children (148 are female) in grades 4 - 6 are learning to use computers for different purposes.
