Drought in northwest Cambodia has led to crop failure, leaving many villagers without a source of food. Because of the proximity to Thailand, many Cambodians migrate in order to find work. However, IOM Cambodia estimates that 25% of these migrants meet the criteria for trafficking and abuse.
In order to assist these villagers, SP recently conducted rice distributions in two villages. Our staff work closely with village and commune leaders to ensure that distributions are carried out fairly. Villagers and leaders alike expressed deep gratitude toward SP for this assistance.
Once the rice arrived, it was time to unload. Staff and beneficiaries alike stepped up to help out.
