Friendship with Cambodia is a non-profit organization that:
Raises funds for humanitarian projects in Cambodia.
Promotes cultural understanding, appreciation and cooperation through educational programs about Cambodia.
The Need
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 two million people dying from execution, starvation or disease.
- Twenty years of civil war from 1979-1998.
Today most Cambodians live in poverty and lack proper nutrition, an education, a decent house, clean drinking water and medical care. Many are impacted by corruption, trafficking and landmines.
Our Mission
To respond to the suffering in Cambodia by providing humanitarian aid that empowers people to help themselves.
Our wish is to live from our hearts, cultivate compassion, patience and tolerance, embody peace, act with kindness, work together and serve those in need.
