Description

In Boribor district in Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia, around 40% of the population is estimated to live below the poverty level and over 90% are engaged in subsistence agriculture. For the six months after the harvest, many villagers are unemployed and struggle to obtain basic resources for their families.

Quilts and Kits will be distributed especially to the most vulnerable of this group: pregnant women, young children, and the elderly. School Kits will give the children of impoverished families access to the materials they need to continue their education, and Baby Care Kits will give the health center tools to create better hygiene practices among new mothers. Quilts will keep people warm and lessen their chances of getting sick in the cold season.
