sponsor a child like ny
Eight year old Ny lives in Kampong Speu Province in the southwest of Cambodia. He lives in a brick house with his mother and brother. Right now, Ny’s in grade 1 at his local school and while he could be considered one of the luckier kids – he has access to clean safe running water – Ny and his family have no access to health facilities.
The district he lives in used to be one of the strongholds of Khmer Rouge where heavy fighting took place during the civil war. Landmines still exist in the mountainous regions and pose a daily threat to the lives of the communities that go into the forest or work on land that has not been cleared. Villagers and residents in the local community are often left permanently disabled as a result of landmines, leaving them unable to work – in an area where food is already scarce.
