Thirty years of violence in Cambodia has created widows, orphans and
landmine victims. Families have been torn apart by:
- Heavy bombing during the Vietnam war.
- The Khmer Rouge's genocidal rule from 1975-1979
which resulted in nearly 2 million people dying from execution,
starvation or disease.
- Twenty years of civil war from 1979-1998.
Today most Cambodians live in dire poverty and lack proper nutrition,
an education, a decent house, clean drinking water and medical care.
Many are impacted by corruption, AIDS, trafficking and landmines. |
Friendship with Cambodia's
