Life in rural Cambodia was tough for the Phea family. Relying on rice cultivation for their livelihood, their eldest daughter left school to earn extra income for the family.
Since joining a rice co-operative supported by Caritas partner, DPA, the Phea’s lives have been transformed.
Improved farming methods and market access have increased their rice yields and grown their income, allowing for life-changing investments in farming equipment, livestock, and supplies for their young daughters.
Your generous support today can support more families like the Phea’s to thrive and live with dignity.
We have worked closely with our Cambodian partner Development and Partnership in Action (DPA) since 2005, and we are currently working with them to support the development of small-scale farmers' groups and cooperatives in 36 indigenous villages in north-east Cambodia.
Whilst providing employment and opportunities to enhance skillsets, these interventions have enabled over 20,000 indigenous Cambodians secure year-round food security, decrease household debt and pursue dignified livelihoods opportunities.
