Lotus Outreach International (LOI), a trusted BGR partner since 2009, works to improve the lives of women and girls in Cambodia and India through initiatives that increase girls’ access to education. The organization also provides counseling and safe havens for victims of trafficking and domestic violence, and supports women’s economic empowerment through skills training and other programs.

A foundation of LOI’s education programs is its policy of providing rice to female students and their families in rural Cambodia. This “Rice 4 Education” project ensures reliable nourishment for people persistently affected by food insecurity while also freeing up limited familial resources for the education of these girls and young women. The rice often feeds the students’ parents and siblings as well. The project will provide rice to more than 450 students and family members per month, increasing food security while supporting young women as they continue their educations.

This project is co-sponsored by BGR’s European sister organization, Mitgefühl in Aktion (MiA).
