Years of civil war, external occupation and brutal dictatorships have left Cambodia a struggling, lesser-developed nation. The average Cambodian lacks financial security, healthcare and Friends Without A Border The Neededucation.  Around 40% of Cambodians are forced to survive on less than $1.25 US per day. Nearly half of women in Siem Reap Province are illiterate.

Children feel the most brutal consequences of poverty. Many Cambodian children are malnourished, few attend secondary school and thousands die each year of preventable and treatable disease.

We, an international network of Friends, can brighten the future of Cambodia’s children. Won’t you join us?
