Cambodia
AO works to restore hope and dignity to Cambodians by breaking the poverty cycle in rural communities. Our project area spans across three provinces – Kandal, Prey Veng and Stung Treng. These areas have been chosen by AO – Cambodia because of their need and potential.
Kandal and Prey Veng were greatly impacted by the past civil war and Khmer Rouge eras, being so close to the capital. Stung Treng is at the crossroads of the progressing GMR development. Each of these provinces primarily rely on agriculture for its economy. Families are trapped in cycles of poverty, struggling to make ends meet every day.
Facts
- 80% of Cambodians die due to preventable diseases – mainly through unclean water and sanitation
- 57% of kids have not finished primary education – less than 20% finish high school
- 34% live on less than $1 a day
- Only 2% are Christians
