Thousands of the rural poor in Cambodia struggle to meet their basic needs due to poverty. Many have no access to health care and a large number of rural children are unable to receive an education because there is no school. Sometimes even when there is a school some children, often girls, can't go to school because their families are so poor that they are forced to work instead. There are also orphans who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS and no one is there to take care of them. You can make a difference.
