This project with long-term BGR partner Rachana aims to improve food security, health, gender equity, children’s educational opportunities, and living conditions for poor families and vulnerable individuals in rural Cambodia. While Cambodia has made great progress in reducing poverty over the past decade, extreme poverty remains widespread.
Working in thirteen villages in two communes in Cambodia’s Takeo province, Rachana supports 260 family farmers’ ongoing use of climate-resilient rice cultivation techniques to increase resistance to drought conditions and 130 families’ use of organic home-vegetable-gardening techniques. This year’s project also provides food support and small-business mentoring to 50 poor families with school-age children. The project also supports health and hygiene education for students in ten primary schools in the area. The project benefits 10,283 people, including more than 6,000 women and girls. Annually renewable project.
