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, one in three children still suffer stunting as a result of malnutrition, and two-thirds of people experience seasonal food shortages. In the last two years, cycles of drought and flooding attributable to climate change have steeply reduced harvests and raised food costs.
Working in thirteen villages in two communes in Cambodia’s Takeo province, Rachana will train 260 family farmers in climate-resilient rice cultivation techniques to increase resistance to drought conditions; introduce organic home vegetable gardening techniques to 130 families; provide agricultural resources and training as well as parenting education to 50 parents of schoolchildren; and introduce hands-on agricultural and life skills education for 500 schoolchildren.
This project will give poor families training and tools to increase the quantity and quality of their food production, both for food security and for increased income. An increase in income not only provides improved living conditions but also ensures that families can afford schooling for their children. Annually renewable project
