The Smiling Gecko Campus, founded in 2014, is located approximately 60 kilometers north-east of the capital Phnom Penh in the Kampong Chhnang province. Around 30,000 people live in the immediate vicinity of the campus, most of whom are supported or sponsored by Smiling Gecko.
Starting with just nine hectares, the site has now grown to 150 hectares. A necessary expansion, because the activities of Smiling Gecko have become more diverse over the years.
