Humanitarian Aid for Vulnerable Children
KAD cooperated with Latter-Day Saints Charities to distribute hygienic kits and school materials and uniforms to the poorest students who couldn't afford to buy them at market and children affected by AIDS and orphans in the whole years of 2004-2005. Around 1,000 children received our hygienic kits and school materials and uniforms. KAD is now seeking school materials and hygienic kits from abroad for the poor children, children affected by AIDS and orphans for 2006. The purpose of this activity was to reduce difficulty and burden of the guardians of the children and to encourage them to try to study harder and to provide them with warm care.

In 2007, a team of Belgian students volunteered to work for Khmer Association for Development on the non-formal education project. They donated school materials to the poor children. Their donations were very useful for the students who couldn’t afford to buy school materials and helped reduce expenses on school materials of the poor children’s families. In addition, their work made the children very happy and encouraged them to attend the school regularly. They loved and were friendly with all the children. School materials improved the children’s study and helped the children get out of obstacle and difficulty. And the hygienic materials would keep the children’s bodies clean and help them have good health. Normally, the rural, poor children are very ugly and don’t know how sanitize their bodies. They play on the playground and their bodies are full of dirt. So they need hygienic materials to clean their bodies. The children can’t go to school regularly due to poverty that forces them to help their parents with the work to make money to support their families. The donations of nutrition also help the children have good health, go to school regularly, reduce difficulty in livelihood and eradicate child labor.

I am Sum Chanbuny, 44, living in Slab Taaon village, Koki commune, Kien Svay district. I am housewife and my husband is motor bike taxi driver. There 10 members in my family. I have 9 children and am pregnant as well. My family is very poor. Nine members of my family live depending only on my husband’s income of about $5 per day which is spent on my daily food and children’s school fees. I have no land for building a house. Currently, my family asks the neighbor’s land to build an old, decrepit shack provisionally and doesn’t know where to go, if the land owner ask us to leave when they need their land back.

I am Oun Khoeun and my wife Mrs. San Oun living in Chanlok Krav village, Koki commune, Kien Svay district. My family has no land and proper homestead to live in because we are very poor and government didn’t distribute land to our family after we got married. Currently, we build decrepit shack on roadside next to lake. When raining and storming, a big branch of tree over our shack broke and fell onto our shack causing severe damage. We have 5 members in our family and earn our living by small-scale fishing and farming.
