About the charity

This grass roots charity helps the most impoverished people of Cambodia who suffered the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge. The charity helps over 15,000 people made up of more than 3,000 families in 8 villages. Please see www.nkfc.org for more information. The Nginn Karet Foundation for Cambodia exists in order to help village people in Cambodia to secure their basic needs, through a partnership program. Focusing initially on one village, the Foundation supports village people to secure their basic needs, including primary education. Primary health care systems are supported so as to enable mothers to produce appropriate food for their families, based on locally grown cereals, vegetables, fruit and fish. The provision of potable water and the control of local water supplies to village fields for crop and livestock production is a priority. Ownership of the program lies with the village people. The Foundation respects and tries to promote the traditional culture on which village life is based, within the context of sustainable development for basic needs.
