Kuy Indigenous Youth Group, in Kampong Thom Province, is a network of the Cambodian Indigenous Youth Association (CIYA). The youth group, between the ages of 15 and 35, has faced many challenges including loss of land, forest, and traditional occupations. They have been forced to leave their traditional farming to work in rubber plantations, and children get no support for higher education.

The youth group works with the local community to promote community rice, sports, business ventures, agriculture tourism, etc. They work in groups such as savings, community rice, sports, arts, business ventures, agriculture tourism packages, etc.
