Pursat Province
Pursat province, Cambodia is a heavily mined, poverty-stricken, and nearly church-less area of the country. Located near the Thai border and home to many former Khmer Rouge soldiers, Pursat still lacks basic infrastructure such as good roads, electricity and a functioning educational system.
World Relief Cambodia’s Hope program began ministering to the people of Pursat to bring the word of God and important health education to those in need.
Hope for Cambodia’s Children
Your gift will serve the youngest and most vulnerable members of Cambodian society. Children between the ages of 5 and 12 participate in weekly, interactive programs that focus on health, hygiene, nutrition and the love of Jesus. You can help restore physical health and foster spiritual rebirth for these children.
Mobilizing for Life
Cambodia has the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Asia. This program for teens focuses on AIDS prevention. Youth participate in small groups where they learn through discussion, drama and interactive games. Volunteers participate in AIDS visitation programs and mentor children who have lost parents to AIDS.
