This project with longtime 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.

Working in 20 villages in Cambodia’s rural Takeo province, this year’s project is supporting local communities via three primary areas. First, the project provides school support for 75 schoolchildren from poor and vulnerable families. Second, the project is funding the resources needed to provide safe drinking water and improved hygiene and sanitation facilities in fifteen schools in the district. Finally, the project addresses local food security concerns by providing training and resources for 450 farmers, including 300 women, to develop home garden plots that will supply families with nutritious food and offer income potential for the farmers. In total, this year’s project is benefiting more than 1,700 children, half of them girls, as well as 700 adults.
